I'm not ashamed to be a part of Ubuntu, but I'm trying to keep the number of web search hits for my real name low, which is kinda impossible if you use a Launchpad account.

So, I'm wondering if there is a real name policy in the Ubuntu community, or if it's okay to use a pseudonym/nick name/fake name?

While it might be okay to use nick names on IRC and in forums, how about these topics:

  • Adding an OpenPGP key to Launchpad.
  • Signing the Ubuntu Code of Conduct.
  • Becoming an Ubuntu member.
  • Code contributions (e.g., signing the Canonical CLA).

Thanks in advance for your answers!
