Hello all,
I do not know if anybody here knows much about me personally, but I was
born in Ukraine, lived there for all my youth and my relatives and
friends are still there. You can imagine my feelings about this horrible
attack on Ukraine that is going on right now.
I am sincerely and wholeheartedly thankful to everybody supporting the
people of Ukraine in this terrible time, either by speaking out or by
helping materially, monetarily or otherwise. If you want to help more,
please look here:

or seek other charities that are helping Ukrainian people now. Your help
is most appreciated.
That said, I am not sure whether it is a good idea to turn PHP site into
a forum for political announcements. Even if they are of the most
righteous and benevolent type. I am not exactly opposed to the idea, as
I can not be opposed to any expression of support, but I feel it may not
cause much good (certainly won't convince anybody, if the sights of
rockets and shells destroying hospitals, kindergartens, churches,
apartment buildings, maternity wards, and so on didn't) and there are
better ways to express your support - such as contacting your local
political representative, if you live in a democratic country, and/or
using the links above, or donating your time and technical expertise to
one of the relied efforts (I imagine some of them could use a skilled
web developer).
That said, if somebody were to design a logo version with Ukraine flag
and put it on PHP site, I don't think anybody in Ukraine would be
offended by it...
Sorry if it sounds a bit confused, these are challenging times.
