Why on earth are we giving Jaisen a hard time about using his native script
to display his name?  One of OSGeo's goals is to be a truly international
organization.  Yes, the main language of communication is English for this
list, but Jaisen's name is his name for goodness sakes.  It may be true that
many people don't have the ability to read the script -- or even have their
computers set up that it doesn't even display right -- but it is all of our
collective responsibility to understand that when we are taking part in
discussion in an international list that sometimes we are going to deal with
people whose native tongue may be different then ours.

Jaisen, welcome to our community!
