[Qgis-community-team] Case studies or success stories?

[Robert Szczepanek]

"QGIS users" and "Case studies/success stories" are two topics for me, 
and should be done in parallel.

"QGIS users" can be done as list with links at local, national scale. We 
all know people using QGIS in administration and enterprises. We just 
ask - "You use QGIS for free and that's OK. Can we add you as QGIS user 
[1]?".
This is straightforward and can encourage potential new users.

Centralized "Case studies/success stories" is another story, but for me 
this process goes in good direction. We just need some more key user 
examples. This is task for local communities to find them and describe.

regards,
Robert
