[Qgis-psc] Purposal of Splash for QGIS - Honor Havard

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Anita,

Understandable - but on the other hand - isn't this a bit late to honor 
Håvard through a splash-screen in February 2022? Condolences and 
honoring people should probably happen in a "timely" manner and not 
months later (and you already did that in the QGIS blog post - thank 
you!).

What if we would display one of the orienteering maps (or QGIS maps he 
was involved with) in our website banners on the QGIS.ORG webpage 
instead and link it to the blog post? Or any other ideas? We could also 
honor him through a news item in the QGIS news screen where we normally 
announce new versions and events.

Personally - while I do want to honor him and his work - I am not 
totally sure if the splash screen many months later is the right thing 
for this purpose?

Andreas
