Hi lists, While updating the QGIS milestones on github today, I realised that our final 2.18 release is fast approaching! This raised two questions:
1. Is it still the case that 2.18.28, to be released on 18th Jan, is indeed the final ever 2.x release? (Or has there been discussion to extend this?) 2. If so, I think we should do some publicity around this (e.g. a blog post and social media push). I think it's a good time to promote a message like "the final QGIS 2.x release is coming soon -- this is your FINAL CHANCE to get fixes into the remaining official QGIS 2 release. blah blah blah talk to your QGIS support provider or engage one of the commercial support providers listed on our website to discuss your requirements... blah blah blah .... If you still have QGIS 2.x scripts or plugins which need porting, you can also engage one of the commercial support providers to assist with a port to the new 3.4 LTR release. blah blah blah... The QGIS 2.18 LTR release saw over 24 months of patch releases, with 100s of bug fixes. This was made possible thanks to the QGIS project sponsors. Without these organisations the LTR release would not be possible. If you rely on QGIS in a commercial setting, we strongly encourage you to become a QGIS project sponsor too so that we can continue to create quality LTR releases which are supported for extended periods." Thoughts?
