<p>Hi Tim,</p>
<p>Thanks - I just added more ideas to the list and added a new widget to submit a link to an already existing proposal (e.g. QEP, blog post, etc.). Quite a few people already have proposals online but no funders ...</p>
<p>------------</p>
<p>I think I proposed 20k Euros instead of 10k Euros. Given that it will be some bureaucracy around the selection of the prososals I would propose to have a larger amount allocated so we can potentially select 2-4 proposals instead of just 1 or 2.</p>
<p>-------------</p>
<p>About the selection of the proposals: I would like to see our community voters and QGIS user group representatives vote on the selection of the proposals - not just the PSC. It would make the process more transparent and democratic and give them an actual useful task and some influence on the project. Otherwise this group of voters isn't used much really - other than maybe approving what the PSC does and eventually approving and reelecting the PSC. Having such a task for this group of voters would make the process more interesting and help to establish our structures. What do you think?</p>
<p>Andreas</p>

<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">We are pleased to announce the first round of the QGIS Grant Programme. The intention of the QGIS Grant Programme is to make if possible to work on parts of QGIS that typically are not funded via contracts with clients and typically do not attract volunteers to work on. We are looking for ideas that are for the good of the project that everybody who uses QGIS will benefit from. To apply for the QGIS Grant Programme, please visit this page:</div>
