[QGIS-Developer] Environmental policy

[David Signer]

Hi there  
  
I like the idea of having an environmental policy which state that we are considering environmental issues as well.  
  
Likewise I support Andreas' original input, that QGIS.ORG should only fund train tickets for short distance travels to QGIS contributor meetings.  
I think it's not about educating people in their lifestyle, it's about "not supporting financially" things. Everyone will still be free to travel self-payed by plane and nobody should be blamed for doing it (like QGIS.ORG doesn't blame anyone for smoking, but doesn't pay the cigarettes either).  
In case that someone has a difficult situation like e.g. sick spouse and cannot afford the plane travel by him-/herself, maybe exceptions for individual cases can be made.  
  
Other topics depend on where the meeting takes place. In universities, it's probably easy to offer vegan food only. In e.g. Madeira where we went out eating, it depends on what's offered by the restaurants.  
  
I have no strong opinion yet regarding the amount of meetings etc. but providing good possibilities to participate on the meeting via remote makes sense anyway for all who cannot be there for whatever reason.  
  
Thanks and cheers  
Dave
