[Qgis-developer] Multi-threaded Rendering in QGIS

[Peter Wells]

Hi Andreas,

There have been no donors coming forward from the general email I sent out to the lists but I am in the process of asking an organisation here in the UK directly but have been delayed in this task due to various people being on holiday.  

The funding arrangement you describe sounds great.  I will be contacting others that you mentioned directly this week to see if we can raise further funding.  

In the meantime, as far as I am aware, the work on the MT has already begun.  I will chat with Martin and see how the programme ties with the 2.2 release schedule.  


Kind regards,

Pete

Subject: Re: Multi-threaded Rendering in QGIS

Hi all,

I am wondering if you had any feedback regarding the call for funding around the multi-threaded renderer.

>From the Swiss QGIS user group we decided to split this into 2013 and 2014. We can already pay CHF 3000 (approx. €24xx - depening on the exchange rate) in 2013 (approval pending on Nov 21). We would then pay a similar amount then in early 2014.

Did you hear back from others who could contribute financially?

Can Martin already start with his work now? To me it would be important to get this in QGIS 2.2

Best greetings,
Andreas
