<br>
Well - there should be two dev meetings each year - not just one.<br>
<br>
Initiatives for local dev meetings are always welcome, though personally, I would still prefer the combined meeting where most of the core devs are around. Local meetings wouldn't deliver that.<br>
<br>
I see the meetings more as an opportunity to discuss new features or have a look at issues/problems. I don't think that much code is actually created at the meetings. This is usually more efficient at home or in the office, with fewer distractions.<br>
<br>
My proposal is that the local QGIS user groups take care of such local dev meeting events - and come up with sponsors/funding. I know that the german FOSSGIS association meets once or twice at the Linux hotel and projects are invited to join. The swiss QGIS user group could also help organize/sponsor such meetings.<br>
<br>
So do you really think it is a matter of funds or is it rather a problem that someone has to start the initiative and do the organization?<br>
<br>
I don't comment your idea on reaching version parity with Arc ;-) I couldn't care less ...<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Dear PSC,<br>
<br>
On the QGIS agenda there is one major goal at the moment and that is to<br>
finally catch up with Arc and raising the version number in which we lag<br>
far behind.<br>
<br>
To do so more quickly, the grant proposal was a very good start. I think<br>
it would be great if it was somehow possible to encourage development<br>
even more. This could possibly be a code sprint. Or picking some<br>
important pieces of work and sponsor them. Or instead of organizing one<br>
big code sprint organize some local ones with video conference between<br>
them. Your idea goes here.<br>
<br>
I don't know the current situation with the budget and if there are<br>
resources for organizing such an event. I would like to kindly ask you<br>
if it was possible to put that on the next PSC agenda.<br>
<br>
But the quicker we get to version 10 (which I would propose to call QGIS<br>
X) the quicker we can be taken serious!<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
Matthias<br>
