[OSGeo-UK] Donations to projects

[Alastair Graham]

Hi

I agree that QGIS and PostGIS should be supported in this way. I would also
suggest that GDAL is considered - although (as with GeoTools and Geoserver)
this might be less straightforward to support.

And thanks for the shoutout about Rasters Revealed :-)
Cheers
Alastair
