I've noticed there is no RC for Ukraine (as well as other countries that used to be a part of the USSR). I'm not sure
ifNikolay (RC for Russia) sends press-releases to journalists in these countries and handles their requests (if any) as
well,if so, I certainly don't want to interfere with his work.
At present, we have a lot of people in Ukraine speaking Ukrainian as well as Russian and there are Ukrainian-only sites
devotedto open-source software (linux.org.ua being the most prominent example). While I'm not a native Ukrainian
speaker,I understand the language quite well to reply to requests in Ukrainian, as well as Russian, and can get the
assistanceof my family in translating press materials and reaching out to Ukrainian speaking communities. Furthermore,
sinceI reside in Ukraine, it's easier for me to get contacted by local press and volunteers.
Therefore, unless there are objections or others willing to handle these duties, I'd like to become the RC for Ukraine.
My phone number is: +380 91 917-70-43.
