Hi everyone, 

Please do not reply to this thread. It is clear this was a misunderstanding due to differing cultural contexts and further on-list discussion is not going to be productive. 

I think Swastika's gracious response is all that really needs to be said, in any case.

Hi Leslie,

Thank you for coming up and talking about this, I really really appreciate it. I'm really sorry about what you and your family had to go through, and I genuinely appreciate your point. 

Well my name is not at all related to that swastika, but means auspiciousness in sanskrit, my parents are Indian it was their choice, trust me if I it was me to name myself I would have never chosen 'Swastika'. I was teased by my classmates a lot of times when this we studied this chapter.

I totally understand how it feels to see such a name. I guess that's why people are not naming their children swastika anymore, it's rarely found. I will definitely make sure this is not repeated.

Regards

Swastika

I lost many uncles and aunts and cousins to the swastika army of Hitler.  I do not believe that swastika, an outlawed emblem is his true name.

Please do not legitimize the swastika, the emblem  of Hitler's army.  I was born in 1941 and could name a half dozen family whose bodies were burned.

Hi Swastika,

I'm having a hard time reading the text bc of the size of the image but it looks like you used a character in your using name that isn't allowed, maybe an "@" sign? Can you try creating a username that is only letters and numbers?

Hi Swastika!

Welcome to the team - we are quite happy to have you here! 

One thing I'd like to point out is that we have fortnightly video chat meetups - our next one is scheduled for March 3rd - so keep an eye out for that and we'd love to meet you! (Details on the call are here: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/join-us-design-team-sessions-live/ )

It seems that your core interest is in user research and interface design. Would you like to help me review the design in this ticket? Maybe we could meet up and go through it?

Cheers,
