<br>
Do you think it is necessary to discuss the proposals in a mailing
list before voting? The voting members should have access to the
project descriptions and they are familiar with the QGIS project.<br>
<br>
There might be the problem that good proposals from people without
community networking are rejected (similar as it happens in
politics that good ideas are not considered because the major
political parties do not support them).<br>
<br>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I wonder, now that voting on QGIS grants proposals are open, if
we should do a short discussion on what we got.</p>
<p>I personally have an opinion on the grants, which I would be
willing to share if you care and think it is appropriate.</p>
<p>This would be in the tradition of the Swiss democracy, where,
at the beginning of each voting period, each stakeholder (e.g. a
group of people or a political party) gets some room to share
opinions. The opinions of the stakeholders are collected and
jointly published with the opinion of the Swiss government - in
a printed brochure (not that I ask for a printed brochure ;-) -
just explaining how this works in Switzerland).</p>
<p>If you think it is useful - what would be a good mailing list
to discuss it? QGIS developers list? I assume that most
community members are on the qgis-developer list, but maybe not
all QGIS user group representatives? Should we cross-post this
on the QGIS-user and qgis-developer mailing list or would this
forum be too big and it should be restricted to the members who
can vote?</p>
<p>What is your opinion?</p>
<p>Andreas</p>
