[Qgis-user] QGIS Composer Rewrite and Layout Engine crowdfund – half, way there!

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi Bernd et al, 

I don't want to advertise the micro-donations too much. And please don't
send 10 cents or so ;-) 

Seriously - the microdonations are fine and well-meant, but with
micro-donations you can't finance 30k. At least this is fact from other
crowd funding campaigns in the past. 

BTW: at
https://qgisblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/qgis-org-donationsandsponsorshipanalysis2016-2.pdf
you can see the ratio of donations and sponsorships. Donations make a
little more than a quarter of the QGIS.ORG income - three quarters is
from sponsorships. However, we are very grateful for any contribution,
no matter the size.

For Paypal, just forward your payment confirmation to finance at qgis.org and mention that you want to contribute this amount to the "QGIS composer rewrite" crowd funding campaign.

The minimum amount is just to reduce bureaucracy and the loss of payment fees (payments to Australia often come with a hefty payment fee - maybe not from the uk, but from many other countries). QGIS.ORG would be happy to step in in this case and relieve Nyall from such bureaucracy.
