Hi,<br>
<br>
What is the process for earmarked funding?<br>
How will the developer be chosen?<br>
In which timeframe should the development happen and what happens to
the money in case the development does not happen (Mainly in case
there is not enough funding available for a decent solution)?<br>
<br>
I'm not sure bugfixing falls into the same category. There is a list
and it's also valuable if bugfixing is done on an hourly base (in
comparison to features which should be treated as a whole). So this
money seems to be acceptable and should then be redistributed by the
PSC who already knows about the availability of deveopers.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Matthias<br>

We regret that we cannot accept ‘earmarked’ funding as it
creates many administrative issues. If you are interested
in funding specific aspects of QGIS development, we
encourage you to allocate additional human resources to
the project, e.g. hiring a developer, or participating to
our bug fixing initiative.
