New Grant Allocation for Core Coding

From the Firebird Foundation blog:

The Committee announces that it has approved a new allocation to assist with the work-up and
codebase familiarisation of a “trainee” for Firebird core development.

The new allocation has been assigned to Alex Krutyakov, a highly
skilled C++ developer from Moscow. His work-up will be supervised
directly by our code leader Dmitry Yemanov, for a period of six months.
Dmitry plans to ask Alex to work on several of the new modules for
Firebird 3, including:

• Large Exact Numeric support
• Built-in functions
• Shared-disk clustering research
• External database links

We extend a cordial welcome to Alex Krutyakov, who officially joins the core team on Thursday (Feb. 1st).
