How does one go about organizing a crowdfunding campaign for improvements to the QGIS base? I have seen them advertised in the past and I made a small contribution to one, but I don't know how to run one.
There's no fixed process to do this, but it usually goes something like this: - Write up some bullet points/specifications for what you want to see implemented - Get in contact with a QGIS developer (see https://qgis.org/resources/support/commercial-support/) and ask if they'd be interested in developing the change, and work with them to get the specifications finalised and a price determined. - Work out with the developer how they'd want to be paid. Sometimes they'll be happy collecting partial funds from a group of funders, other times they may want you to do this and just pay them one total payment. - Put out public notices on the mailing lists, on social media, approach the various users groups and advertise your campaign! - Enjoy the warm glow of making QGIS better for yourself, and for all other users too 🥳 Nyall
