"... Donations are requested to help Andrii Nikitin, a MySQL support engineer in Ukraine, provide for his son Ivan who requires a bone marrow transplant operation. The cost of this operation is expected to be between €150,000 - €250,000 ($235,000 - $400,000). Please help us provide Ivan a chance to live ..."
I know this could be seen as a heartless gesture but has anyone verified with MySql that Andrii Nikitin is who the page claims? I know this is shown off the mysql site but that's just a webpage. Does anyone personally/professionally know Andrii? Does anyone know Andrii at MySql?
It would help greatly Anreii's cause if MySql "officially" set up an MySql postal account allowing non paypal money orders, cheques etc to be passed on if they use MySql by name.
- aneesh 18y agoHis name is on some MySQL bug reports.(http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=32930 http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=32930) There's also an address for postal mail, and info for wire transfers (http://www.theopenforce.com/2008/07/andrii-nikitin.html http://www.theopenforce.com/2008/07/andrii-nikitin.html) I agree, they should perhaps add this information to the main MySQL site.
