[Qgis-developer] Sponsorship Opportunity

[Gary Sherman]

Greetings,

As you know QGIS has been developed primarily by a wide ranging group  
of volunteers, including developers, translators, web maintainers,  
artists, and documentation writers.

One of the most beneficial events has been the face-to-face developer  
meetings. These events provide a venue in which major issues can be  
sorted out and new features planned and prototyped. The developer  
meetings thus far have been very productive in advancing QGIS.

We are currently planning a developer meeting in Pisa in the spring of  
2010. The sponsorship goal for the event is 10,500 Euro ($15,000 US).  
This will allow us to bring 15 developers together. Please consider  
donating for this worthwhile event.

You can find information on the sponsorship program, its benefits, and  
the developer meeting at http://qgis.org/en/sponsorship.html.

Thank you for supporting QGIS!
