[Qgis-user] Funding sources for QGIS development (local groups)

Hi Alex,

Regarding your question:

There are some modules developed and used in Switzerland (drinkingwater, wastewater and district heating? management) based on the national norms and legal dispositions. 
A new one for surveying is currently under development. Those modules are mainly useful for Swiss entities and mostly financed and developed by subgroups of the Swiss QGIS user group (e.g. https://www.teksi.ch).
Some plugins also exist that are relevant in the Swiss context (only) like the 'ModelBaker' - a plugin that allows to create QGIS projects based on federal or local data models written in Interlis (the very own and legally anchored Swiss modelling and data transfer language https://www.interlis.ch/ - though Colombia and Lichtenstein use it too)

So this modules and plugins are not really of a lot of interest for QGIS users outside Switzerland though technically, they could use them :)

Kind regards,
François
