We shouldn't have to care about "immutable characteristics". Religions, for example are not immutable, but we (as openSUSE group) don't have to mind about this.
I don't disagree with that.
*nobody* should be marginalized for opinion not related to openSUSE, here.
However, displaying any flag may be seen as a *promotion* of a group or an idea. An Ukrainian flag could mind the group is only Ukrainian friendly. This don't have anything to do with openSUSE and shouldn't be done here.
Context matters. I personally wouldn't have a problem with showing support for Ukraine, given the current circumstances. At the same time, I also recognize that all Russian people do not support what Russia is doing (and those who do are likely being coerced or influenced by propaganda campaigns).
I don't read the factory list, only the project one and so don't know how the discussion starts.
*if* it is a matter of *mail signature* I'm uncertain of what can be done, the netiquette allows usually to accept almost anything there (is it?)
it's always good to read again:
A very good reference. It's always good to bring back the classics like this one. :) -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits
