[Qgis-developer] Status of QGIS3

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi Regis, 

Yes - we already publish our financials. Although in textual form: 

see
http://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/finance/index.html 

I will perhaps cross-reference the financial reports on the page
explaining the sponsorship. Makes sense. 

The report for 2016 will soon be published. If you are interested, you
can find it already on Google Docs:

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.
