<p>Hi Nyall,</p>
<p>We can certainly revise the rates from time to time.<br /><br />It is also clear that rates and inflation rates are different in different parts of the world - on the other side - most of our devs who participate in the bug fixing effort seem to be in the Euro zone or Australia in your case.</p>
<p>Any suggestions for a revised rate? 110? 120?</p>
<p>At the beginning - when we introduced the rates - we already communicated that the rates would be lower than the normal industry rates, which are probably somewhere between 150 and 220.</p>
<p>Andreas</p>

(Obviously<br />this would impact the project budget, so I would suggest any change in<br />rate would be accompanied by a corresponding adjustment in the number<br />of contracted development hours to fit the budgeted totals).<br /><br />Thanks for the consideration!<br />Nyall<br />_______________________________________________<br />Qgis-psc mailing list<br /><a href="mailto:Qgis-psc@lists.osgeo.org">Qgis-psc@lists.osgeo.org</a><br /><a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-psc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-psc</a></div>
