Hi,

As we just received our first sponsorship in 2021, I propose to send the following mail to grass-user & grass-dev. Any objections ?

Dear all,

We just received our very first sponsorship contribution of 2021 (thank you !) and I want to profit of the occasion to remind you that the GRASS GIS project also needs some financial support in order to:

- organize very valuable face-to-face meetings and sprints gathering developers and the wider community for a few days to concentrate on improving GRASS GIS

- fund some specific fixes or enhancements (this year the use of micro-budgets for such fixes is planned)

- maintain our website

- produce some marketing material to spread the word

You can see the list of past sponsors here:

https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Sponsors#Individuals_who_have_sponsored_GRASS_GIS

As you can see, no amount is too small: if all GRASS GIS users give just a small amount regularly, we will already have a sizeable budget to work with ! And I challenge you to find software that does all that GRASS GIS does for 5€/$ or 10 €/$ a year ;-)

So, just go to https://grass.osgeo.org/contribute/sponsoring/ and help us make GRASS GIS better.

If you want to see more details about how we use the money, note that the project budgets are public. For 2021 see https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_GIS_Budget_2021.

The GRASS GIS Project Steering Committee
