Rafael Avila de Espindola, one of the top contributors to the LLVM compiler toolset, has cut ties with the open source project over what he perceives as code of conduct hypocrisy and support for ethnic favoritism. In a message posted to the LLVM mailing list, de Espindola said he was leaving immediately and cited changes in the community.
LLVM project founder, Chris Lattner responded; "I applaud Rafael for standing by his personal principles, this must have been a hard decision." Lattner also insisted that "it is critical to the long term health of the project that we preserve an inclusive community."

So, change your name to something more traditional. Or, at least use a "professional" name. I probably wouldn't call Shanequa. I certainly wouldn't call anyone whose name was obviously misspelled. And, yes, there are dozens of names on birth certificates that are obviously misspelled. If the parents didn't take their child seriously enough to learn how to spell some common name like "Samuel", or "Beverly", I can't believe the offspring is going to take life, or their job, seriously.
