[Qgis-psc] SAP HANA

[Raymond Nijssen]

Hi Even,

Don't know about SAP being (or planning to become) a QGIS sustaining 
member, but they did support the QGIS Contributor Meeting as a Titanium 
sponsor and planned to send 3 devs to the meeting.

Unfortunately, due to corona restrictions, the meeting has been 
postponed until next year. :(

Kind regards,
Raymond
