[GRASS-user] Support GRASS GIS financially !

[Moritz Lennert]

Dear all,

We just received our very first sponsorship contribution of 2021 (thank 
you !) and we want to take this occasion to thank all those who sponsored us last year and remind you that the GRASS 
GIS project needs financial support in order to:

- organize very valuable face-to-face meetings and sprints gathering 
developers and the wider community for a few days to concentrate on 
improving GRASS GIS

- fund specific fixes or enhancements (this year the use of 
micro-budgets for such fixes is planned)

- maintain our website

- produce marketing material to spread the word

You can see the list of past individual and corporate sponsors here:

As you can see, no amount is too small: if all GRASS GIS users give just 
a small amount regularly, we will already have a sizeable budget to work 
with ! And I challenge you to find software that does all that GRASS GIS 
does for 5€/$ or 10 €/$ a year ;-)

So, just go to https://grass.osgeo.org/contribute/sponsoring/ and help 
us make GRASS GIS better.

If you want to see more details about how we use the money, note that 
the project budgets are public. For 2021 see
