[QGIS-Developer] Looking for a QGIS core developer available to work on CMYK support in QGIS

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Julien,

Thank you for confirming that you are interested in working on it. I wasn't
really sure if you joined the meeting back then because you have a client
that wants it and can help finance. But now it is clear that you are also
interested in doing the development work inside QGIS.

Meanwhile I heard back from other devs who have an interest (Nyall and devs
from OPENGIS). I will let the PSC come up with some good procedure to
decide who will get the contract - or if it would be split in parts.

Thanks,
Andreas
