[Qgis-psc] Fwd: Now Offering QGIS Support

[Paolo Cavallini]

Hi all,
I believe we should be more strict. Listing unknown companies will appear as an endorsement, and can do is more harm than good.
Perhaps we could add a sentence like "Many more companies offer QGIS support, probably also in your country. Search the web for a list."
Cheers.
