<div dir="ltr"><rant><br>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. <br>
