    <p>Hi Andreas</p>
    <p>Thanks for taking this into the discussion.</p>
    <p>Rest assured that no offense has been taken. I highly value the
      democratic process and it's decisions!</p>
    <p>It's an offer we decided to make to move a topic forward that in
      our opinion would benefit the quality of QGIS and its ecosystem.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Looking forward to hearing from you</p>
    <p>Matthias<br>

        <div>Hi Matthias,</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Tomorrow evening is a PSC meeting. I think we should
          discuss at the meeting what to do with the two proposals that
          couldn't make it.<br>
        </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I wouldn't interpret the grant proposal voting as being
          "against" your proposal. With these relatively few voting
          members one vote plus or minus makes a difference and
          sometimes it is only a tiny bit of luck or not. This has
          nothing to do with the quality of the proposal.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I think neither of the proposals is "sexy" to the end
          users. And the  rules of the grant process made sure that
          "sexy" projects (new features and such) were not eligible for
          the grant process. We  should also not blame the voting
          members for the outcome - it is just a matter of fact that one
          or two of the proposals couldn't make it. I wish we had more
          funds than we had grant proposals ...<br>
        </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>It is also clear that certain proposals that only target a
          "minority" of QGIS  users (such as MacOS, Linux users or QGIS
          server users) often have a tough time getting enough votes.</div>

            <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>
