[OSGeo-UK] Improving elevation and LIDAR tools in QGIS

[Nick Bearman]

Dear OSGeo:UK,

Based on our discussion at the recent AGM, we have £5k we could spend on 
sponsorship (which would leave £9k for future conferences, etc.).

I'm proposing we donate £1,000 of this to the crowdfunding campaign to 
improve QGIS tools for handling LIDAR and elevation data in QGIS.

The project meets our funding criteria 
(https://uk.osgeo.org/fundingguidelines.html) and the committee believes 
this is a good use of the money.

Any comments, feedback / discussion are welcome.

Depending on the discussion, we aim to formally submit the contribution 
to Lutra Consulting tomorrow (Thurs) evening (i.e. about 24 hours after 
this email).

Best wishes,
Nick.

My working pattern is probably not the same as your working pattern, therefore
you may get emails from me outside of normal working hours. Please do not feel any
pressure to respond outside of your own working pattern.
