<p>In accordance with <a href="https://plugins.qgis.org/docs/approval" target="_blank">https://plugins.qgis.org/docs/approval</a> I would like to request consideration for Trusted Plugin Author status.</p>
<p>I have been maintaining the <strong>GeoDataFarm</strong> plugin since 2018 and have recently also become the maintainer of <strong>OMRAT</strong>. Over the years I have actively maintained GeoDataFarm, provided updates, fixed issues, and supported users. With the addition of OMRAT, I am now responsible for maintaining multiple QGIS plugins and plan to continue supporting them over the long term.</p>
<p>Based on the criteria described in the QGIS plugin approval process, I hope my track record as a plugin maintainer can be considered sufficient for Trusted Author status.</p>
<p>Plugin pages:</p>
<ul>
<li>GeoDataFarm: <a href="https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/geodatafarm/" target="_blank">https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/geodatafarm/</a></li>
<li>OMRAT: <a href="https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/Omrat/" target="_blank">https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/Omrat/</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Thank you for your consideration. Please let me know if any additional information is needed.</p>
<p>Best regards,<br><span style="background-color:transparent"><b>Axel Hörteborn<br></b></span><span style="background-color:transparent">Maintainer of GeoDataFarm and OMRAT</span></p></div></div>
