[eside-ghost] [off-topic] Ayuda a miembro de Cyanogen

[Jorge Cacho]

Buenas!!

Antes de nada pido disculpas por el cross-posting y por el posible
off-topic.

Muchos de vosotros conoceréis y seréis usuarios de Cyanogen. Hoy han
colgado esta noticia para solicitar ayuda para uno de sus desarrolladores
que padece una grave enfermedad.

Os copio el mensaje al final de la lista.

Un saludo

             Jorge

==========================================


We normally do not put personal posts on this page, as they can be
complicated matters and usually do not pertain to CyanogenMod news. That
said, something is affecting us in a way it really hasn’t affected us
before, and it’s hitting very close to home.

Within CyanogenMod, we have dozens of maintainers and hundreds of
contributors; none of whom are paid employees. Yes, we get donations, but
despite the jokes of yachts, helicopters, and private planes, it is really
just enough to cover operating costs for servers and hosting. Occasionally,
there is enough leftover in the team account to buy a device for a
developer. What we are getting at here is that CyanogenMod is not rich.

There are, however, times where we wish that we were a full fledged
company. It’d be nice if CM could pay for some full-time positions or help
out team members when they are in need. Currently, we are experiencing a
painful reminder of this limitation.

A member has had a pretty serious problem fall into his lap. Ryan Scott
(aka ChiefzReloaded), a device maintainer, has a rare infection known as
Necrotizing Fasciitis. This infection is caused by bacteria that eats skin,
fat, and other tissue; it is literally a flesh-eating disease. Ryan is
going through the treatments that he needs to keep him alive, but
unfortunately, that treatment quickly becomes very expensive to deal with,
and it is no exception for Ryan. This disease has placed an incredible
strain on him and his family, including his young children. The CyanogenMod
team would love to be able to hand out a fistful of cash and help out as
much as possible.

*Love from the Community*
Some members of our community have started a few initiates to benefit Ryan
and his family. As we are unable to help out financially, we would like to
lend our support for these community initiatives, and help spread the word.

Polo Heysquierdo has started an Indiegogo page for Ryan at
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/scott-family-fund. This page has some
more details on Ryan’s condition and a method for you to help the effort.

Additionally, a huge community favorite and someone who the CyanogenMod
team loves, Deth Becomes You has started an auction with proceeds aimed at
helping out Ryan.https://plus.google.com/u/0/107290707477228775864/posts/

And last, but not least, you can send donations and words of support to
Ryan directly via paypal. chiefz.reloaded en gmail.com

We understand that not everyone can help, but even if you can’t, sending
Ryan and his family some kind words and sharing this message will go
equally as far.

Thank You,
The CyanogenMod Team
