> Dear QGIS user,
> as you know, QGIS 3 has been recently published. This version implied
> big changes in the code structure that, in addition to the new
> functionalities already exposed, makes our code base more modern and
> easier to further expand and improve.
> As expected, these changes triggered a series of new issues, that you
> the users are helping to discover and document. Our objective is to
> eliminate at least the most important of them in time for what will be
> our next LTR (3.4, due in October[0]). The resources directly available
> from QGIS.ORG funds are limited, and we already invested in QGIS 3.0 far
> more than we have done for any earlier version.
> This would therefore be the right timing for users, and particularly for
> power users, larger institutions and enterprises, to invest in QGIS
> bugfixing, and we encourage to do it now. You have a number of different
> options: donating your developers' time or hiring a developer directly
> for the bugs that annoy you most, sponsoring our foundation[2], or
> donating[3].
> Feel free to contact us for further details if necessary.
