<p>Hi Andreas, Barend,</p>
<p>We definitely could have been clearer in the question. But I
think the "real" organisation size matters as well, the IT
infrastructure overhead is relative to the organisation size and
not the number of users (which also would have been interesting).</p>
<p>Note to self: be hyper-precise in future survey questions<br>
</p>

<p>Hi Barend,</p>
<p>Right - that question should have been more clearly stated. I
agree and apologize for not noticing it when we discussed it.</p>
<p>Thanks for filling in the survey!<br>

<p>Hi Michael,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Yes, I interpret it is the nr of employees using (Q)GIS on
a regular basis within an organization. And it is based on
self-declaration and there is no control about the numbers
whatsoever.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We have quite a nr of municipalities that support us on the
"small" level as sustaining member.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>All is based on a voluntary contribution anyway and you are
not required to be a member in order to use QGIS.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Greetings,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Dear Iain,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Yes, QGIS has an entity: QGIS.ORG is the worldwide
association of QGIS users and developers. QGIS.ORG is
constituted as a Swiss ‘association’ (<a
href="https://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/charter.html"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/charter.html</a>)
but it is not a registered charity.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>To help support QGIS, organizations are invited to become
sustaining members of QGIS.ORG. The details of our
sustaining membership program are described in: <a
href="https://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/sustaining_members/sustaining_members.html"

<p>You can also see who's already supporting QGIS: <a
