[Incubator] QField as OSGeo Project

Wed Apr 19 16:07:39 PDT 2023

hey Jody, to me all requirements you described and checked are met.

I ask the board or the incubation committee to motion QField approval?
if the comitee, then I'd like to officially ask for QField to become an
OSGeo community project.

cheers Marco
