That said, if somebody were to design a logo version with Ukraine flag

In case anyone has use for it: https://svgshare.com/i/epJ.svg Colors are #0057b7 and #ffd700, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Ukraine#Design, with a white stroke.

Opinions aside: PHP, like many other OSS projects, has substantial amounts of people in Russia and non-Russia. Fact. Let's keep an OSS project focusing on the technology that we're building here, and take politics out of the equation here, entirely. Please can we go to the correct platforms such as Twitter, FB, LinkedIn, and others, for such conversations, discussions, moralities, and debates? We all love the PHP project, and let's not get it dragged into the mess going on in the outside world. OSS for many is a safe haven to sink your work and focus into, stress relief, an outlet, and a place free from outside world problems; let's try to healthily keep it that way, shall we?

OSS might not be the safe haven for everyone as some might have not on their radar. Think of the prominent cases of Stallman and Thorvals. OSS can only be a safe haven when we take action to make sure that they are actually safe. And one of these actions can be to make it very clear that violence, aggression, intolerance and fake news have no place in this community. Not by saying so or being tolerant about them, but by explicitly showing that we want to be a safe haven. And yes: Substantial parts of PHPs code are from Russian as well as from Ukranian developers. And some of the later ones currently are not able to contribute because they are right now, at this very moment, trying to defend their homes, their families and their lives against an illegal invasion from a foreign government. So the PHP project has already been dragged into this mess. It is not a project outside of space and time. We all are the PHP project. And some of us are being forced to fear for their lives due to some dick wanting to show off.
