[Qgis-psc] Expressions of Interest - Company to hire Webdev and Documentation writer

[Marco Bernasocchi]

Dear community,
during the Call for Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from companies
interested in managing the two professional contributors, the PSC received
only one expression of interest from Kartoza Pty.

The PSC agreed in the last meeting that with only one very well-known
candidate, it is pointless to start a vote and we assigned the budget item
(that was separately voted) to them.

We're looking forward to the Professional contributors commencing work and
providing regular feedback to the community.

Cheers Marco
