[Qgis-developer] Plugin repo: status

[Andreas Neumann]

Informal contacts are always good.

But I wouldn't start to establish contacts with Google based on a legal 
issue. Imagine if you were a Google employee and QGIS would get in 
contact with you for the first time, and the first question is if QGIS 
could use their geodata tiles - which is more a question to Google 
lawyers - it would probably piss you off.

I would start getting into contact with them and ask for sponsoring for 
a hackfest. This, you probably could do even before we are a legal 
entity. Then for proper sponsoring, we really need this legal entity. Or 
you could also ask them if they would host an upcoming hackfest at one 
of their offices/campuses.

But this whole thing should be better discussed on the PSC list - it is 
not so much a dev issue.
