[Qgis-psc] QGIS Exportability

[Andreas Neumann]

Dear Elias,

I am adding another information considering large deployments of QGIS: if
you (or your customers) rely heavily on QGIS and expect QGIS to run stable
for the coming years - we recommend joining the QGIS sustaining membership
program. It helps ensure that QGIS has a stable infrastructure, can apply
bug fixes and address security issues in a reasonable time span. You can
find more information about the sustaining memberships at
https://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/sustaining_members/sustaining_members.html

Best regards,
Andreas Neumann
