Hello.

How to change my account username ?  
The problem is I want to make it same as my github’s, in order to combine all together.

It is really important to me.  
I have only one account here, on [opendesktop.org](http://opendesktop.org).

Can You please change it for me ?

@jotemsivle Did you get any feedback, please?  
Asking since I’d also want to rename my username and I don’t see yet how.  
I guess I’ll eventually delete the account and start again …  
It would be nice to get some feedback here.

I am sorry. The answer is short and sweet.  
At the moment it is not possible to change a username.
