[Qgis-psc] QGIS Server funding

[Régis Haubourg]

Hi all,
first thanks very much for that sponsoring, this is very much welcome!

Sorry for holding my answer for two days now, I was trying to coordinate
things a bit.

Concerning the developer calendar for vacations, Paul Blottiere here is
available during summer and will be at Nodebo too.

It's true the workload is pretty heavy and that the feature freeze
approaching will increase that again. It's one of our main concern to
coordinate all the new feature asked on all projects to make it in 3.0.

René Luc, if you take the GetPrint task which was the last remaining for
Oslandia, then we are willing to start directly on OGC conformity during
BugFix period.
Among the available funds, I suggest 3liz uses a bit more than 3k for
GetPrint and Server bugfix (there will be for sure some work for that)

At Oslandia, I would ask for 5k for OGC platform consolidation + auditing
all non conformities, then 3K for starting fixing the biggest blockers.
This lets 2k extension for 3liz.
The mid-term goal is to reach OGC certification for WMS service, which
would be a really good signal to the world ;).

How does that  sounds like to you?

@Yves, please raise the hand if you are willing to take some funds on the
speed benchmark platform, this would also be very welcome by dev's and
customers.

Cheers
Régis
