[Qgis-psc] Voting for grants

[Marco Bernasocchi]

Hi all
thanks a lot for the great input. It is grest to see the "bottom up"
approach at work :)

in general to me it looks like we need to work on making workflows and
processes clearer an more transparent.

I'll take the subject to the PSC meeting  next Tuesday. So please let the
inp6flow :)

cheers Marco

PS I'll be out ski mountaineering until Monday, I'll read the updates
Tuesday
