[Qgis-psc] Funding to update test environment?

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Nyall,

Yes - this would be possible. We always have some sort of financial buffer,
for unplanned emergency tasks.

Are you willing to work on it, or would you propose someone else?

We have a PSC meeting tonight and can discuss this issue.

Greetings,
Andreas
