Today Vadim Schchepinov, CEO of Red Soft Corporation, a company developing applications over Firebird databases for companies and government agencies in Russia, announced that his company would commit to sponsorship at Silver band or higher, with an indication of intent to assist the Foundation over any cash flow problems that might arise in the current year. We will try to provide more detail after the AGM and before the start of the general meeting next month to discuss Firebird’s future management and funding arrangements.
