Hi Bernd et al,
I don't want to advertise the micro-donations too much. And please don't
send 10 cents or so ;-)
Seriously - the microdonations are fine and well-meant, but with
micro-donations you can't finance 30k. At least this is fact from other
crowd funding campaigns in the past.
BTW: at
https://qgisblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/qgis-org-donationsandsponsorshipanalysis2016-2.pdf
you can see the ratio of donations and sponsorships. Donations make a
little more than a quarter of the QGIS.ORG income - three quarters is
from sponsorships. However, we are very grateful for any contribution,
no matter the size.
