[Qgis-developer] Status of QGIS3

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi Régis, 

No, we did not change our policy regarding earmarked sponsoring. 

However, looking at our expenses, bug fixing is the biggest item
(usually around 2/3 of the expenses). So you can easily claim that
someones sponsorship covers that ;-) In reality, of course, everything
goes into the pool. 

I also wrote "primarily" - that does not exclude that the money is also
used for other purposes. 

It was my argument to "sell" the sponsorship to our users.

Thanks a lot Nyall, Andreas. This small incident IMHO highlights the
need for more communication to users, so our exercise may be useful.
Andreas, do you have slides to share?
Of course I'll also share mine.
All the best.
