<p>Hi Anita, all</p>
<p>Congratulations to all the winning proposals, we have some very
good projects confirmed. Also thanks a lot for running the grant
proposal process perfectly smooth.</p>
<p>Also thanks to all the voting members for taking the time to read
up on the proposals and participate in the democratic process.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>We have noticed that the settings registry was again not
prioritized. We are unsure, what exactly the reason was. The other
proposals were very high quality indeed. Maybe it was not deemed
important enough, maybe the conclusion was that it would be easy
to find external sponsors or maybe it was not presented or titled
"sexy" enough.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Whatever it may have been, we are convinced that it would be very
good for the QGIS codebase, plugin ecosystem and users. It will <br>
</p>
<p> - reduce the risk for wrong usage of settings (recent bug e.g.
[1])</p>
<p> - make it easier for plugin developers to properly use settings</p>
<p> - add semantics to settings, it opens up the way to generate a
UI for settings (the same way it's already possible to generate
UIs for processing parameters)<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>To provide this leap forward with respect to settings management,
OPENGIS.ch would like to jump in and sponsor the missing 2.4K € to
implement this proposal.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If you would like to follow up on this, please let me know.<br>
</p>
<p>Thank you very much</p>
<p>Matthias<br>

<div>Here is a first draft of a one page
summary of the grants to be voted on.</div>

<div>It's quite tricky to report the
discussion without looking too negative.
I hope this is neutral enough. I am
totally open to suggestions, obviously.</div>

<p>We need the summaries as soon as
possible. According to our timeline,
we wanted to publish the voting
results at the end of June (after a
two week voting period):</p>
<p><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CNmSJxztrHrqLfillDH8v1zWaMzxFUyYSPT3sut55eQ/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CNmSJxztrHrqLfillDH8v1zWaMzxFUyYSPT3sut55eQ/edit?usp=sharing</a></p>
<p>If you can manage to write the
summaries by Sunday 21st, we can
start the voting and have the
results ready around July 6th.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Anita</p>
