The capability gap the between O/S & Commercial toolkits is shrinking.
But, I'm pretty sure the marketing gap is large & growing.

How about funding the development of a professional quality QGis
marketing pack, targeting UK councils/public bodies.

The pack could contain examples of how frequent geospatial
challenges/tasks are performed with QGis, together with case studies
of QGis/Open Source adoption and testimonials.

The materials would be Open Source, and customisable to suit the
opportunity at hand.

No, sadly I don't hold the skills to be a candidate for the work.

Regards,
Ian
