Additional details and remarks:


Donations:
 
Direct donations through wire transfer to our bank account are usually cheaper for qgis.org 
(less transfer fees involved compared to PayPal) and thus the preferred way for citizens and 
organizations in european countries. PayPal is more convenient for non­european countries. 
If you need a written confirmation of your donation, please specify your confirmation request 
in the payment instructions, along with your full address and your email contact.

Other:
This item contains a refund of an accidental double payment of an invoice. 
 

Expenses bug fixing:


These expenses have been spent for bug fixing and quality assurance during the bug fixing 
period of the QGIS releases 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6. The QGIS core developers Jürgen Fischer 
(Norbit) and Martin Dobias (Lutra Consulting) each spent several days for each release to 
improve the quality of the release version. 
 

Expenses developer meetings:


These expenses include hotel, travel and food expenses during the Essen hackfest, 
Germany, 2014 and partially for the 2013 meeting in Brighton. Note that many 
QGIS developers did not apply for refund of their travel expenses. We would not be able to 
fully cover all QGIS developers’ travel expenses for each meeting, taking into account our 
current financial situation. 
 
Special thanks 
 
 
We’d like to thank all donors and sponsors! Without your contributions we wouldn’t be able to 
support the QGIS core developers, with their travel costs and we wouldn’t be able to organize 
paid bug fixing and QA for each QGIS release! Besides donations and sponsorships the 
major driver of QGIS development is paid feature development, typically not handled through 
QGIS.org, but directly between companies with QGIS developers and organizations and 
companies willing to invest into new QGIS features. A special “thank you” also goes to these 
organizations who help QGIS by investing into companies who improve QGIS with new 
features. 
 
 
Grüt, Switzerland, January 29, 2015
