Crowdfunding
We aim to fund the development of certain QGIS features and other projects benefiting a wider audience through crowdfunding
It's not uncommon when working with open source software to see that the project of a single client will benefit a much wider audience. A simple example is a client wanting some really useful new feature implemented in QGIS which would also benefit the wider QGIS user community. We aim to fund the development of such projects through crowdfunding.
Crowdfunding aims to spread the funding burden throughout the wider user community rather than relying on a single source and is therefore well suited to free and open source software projects. With reduced per-donor costs, the likelihood of projects attaining their required funding level increases, benefiting both users and developers.
Some examples of Lutra projects made possible through crowdfunding include the AutoTrace plugin for QGIS and multi-threaded rendering in QGIS.
