At various times the project management website Launchpad has encouraged all and required some users to use their legal name on the site. Interacting with Launchpad is essential for Ubuntu developers, bug reporters, translators and so on. This causes problems for users with reason to use a pseudonym, a desire that is especially common among women for reasons including fear of violence and fear of online harassment. One woman in the discussions below does report online harrassment due to her use of her recognisably female name on Launchpad.
