Hi Tim,<br>
<br>
This sounds good to me.<br>
<br>
Also good to be quite open and post some information about this bug
fixing programme on our website. Maybe, linked to our
sponsoring/donation page - so they see that we use their money
responsibly.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Yes agreed.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Just to clarify (following an offlist query from Richard) - this list will be used peristently (not just for 2.8 release) so the developers listed there and selected by PSC can just be contacted with each release.

<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">As promised,
here is a draft call for developers for 2.8 bug fixing:</div>

<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Dear QGIS
Developer Community</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">QGIS 2.8 is
drawing close and we would like to use some of our QGIS funds
to pay two core developers for one week each. In the past we
have simply appointed two developers. However we would like to
be more open about the appointment process and invite any
suitably qualified developer to place their name in the
register of developers we select from when we do bug fixing.
The process will work as follows:</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">1) If you are a
QGIS core developer and would like to be eligible to do bug
fixing work, let the PSC know, along with your day rate in
euros and we will (subject to PSC approval) add your name to
the roster of developers who can be employed to do paid bug
fixing. Approval will be based on the PSC being satisfied that
you have the skills to carry out bug fixing work.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">2) In the run
up to each release, the PSC will determine what budget we have
available and approach one or more of the developers on our
roster to see if they are available for paid bug fixing.
Selection will be made based on skills of the developer and
the critical areas in QGIS that need bug fixing.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">We will also
welcome third parties to sponsor additional days of developer
time and will make available the names and rates of the
developers on the list for this purpose.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Thus if you are
a core developer and are interested in participating in the
programme, may I ask you to please send an email to the PSC
mailing list indicating your availability?</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Thanks very
much</div>
