[Qgis-user] Mac OS X testing for QGIS 3

[Burghardt.Scholle at stadt.wolfsburg.de]

Hi John,

thank you for your nice reply. I'm just a QGIS user and work primarily under Linux and Windows. But for testing purposes, I frequently use my MacBook Air. So I will continue trying to get QGIS 3 running on Mac OS X.

Regards
Burghardt
