<p>Hi Régis,</p>
<p>No, we did not change our policy regarding earmarked sponsoring.</p>
<p>However, looking at our expenses, bug fixing is the biggest item (usually around 2/3 of the expenses). So you can easily claim that someones sponsorship covers that ;-) In reality, of course, everything goes into the pool.</p>
<p>I also wrote "primarily" - that does not exclude that the money is also used for other purposes.</p>
<p>It was my argument to "sell" the sponsorship to our users.</p>

<div>Just a question, up to now, sponsoring could not be oriented and I see that gold sponsor is dedicacted to bugfixing and QA. Did we change our policy? If yes, that needs to be wide spread, we might gain some sponsors !</div>

<p>Hi Paolo,</p>
<p>Here are the slides from our annual meeting: <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1d1ott7W5agb2vvUB8xSfv7x6gE843H-JLw4_OWqyTmc/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.<wbr />com/presentation/d/<wbr />1d1ott7W5agb2vvUB8xSfv7x6gE843<wbr />H-JLw4_OWqyTmc/edit?usp=<wbr />sharing</a></p>
<p>However, only a small nr of slides on QGIS 3 itself.</p>
<p>Feel free to re-use, if you need something.</p>

Every version<br /> obviously has plenty and numerous improvements, regardless if it is a major<br /> version change or not. Thanks a lot to all of the very active devs!</blockquote>
<br /> Just to clarify - I wasn't offended. I'm just very aware that there's<br /> a lot of "lurkers" on this list who could misinterpret your email and<br /> think that there's only been those changes so far. Next thing we know<br /> it's being shared on Twitter!</blockquote>
<br /> Thanks a lot Nyall, Andreas. This small incident IMHO highlights the<br /> need for more communication to users, so our exercise may be useful.<br /> Andreas, do you have slides to share?<br /> Of course I'll also share mine.<br /> All the best.</div>
