I agree to Nyall - We need sponsors. And sponsors don´t want to be in footnotes fontsize 6.5
Right now I´ve started to get sponsors to the next developer/usermeeting in Denmark. And I´m sure sponsors will not be satisfied to be put into an appendix. I think these small textnotes in the mail are harmless Regards Lene Fischer Associate Professor Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management University of Copenhagen MOB +45 40115084 l...@ign.ku.dk<mailto:l...@ign.ku.dk> [SCIENCE_bomaerke_UK] -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: qgis-developer-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:qgis-developer-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] På vegne af Nyall Dawson Sendt: 10. oktober 2014 09:51 Til: Alessandro Pasotti Cc: QGIS Developer Mailing List Emne: Re: [Qgis-developer] Please stop spamming commit logs!

It seems rather trivial. I personally am strongly in favour of these attributions in the commit log. Reasons are: - It gives credit to sponsors. That's important! Look at how many cool features were added in 2.6 thanks to sponsorship... - It gives credit to developers who donate their free/company time. That's also important. QGIS wouldn't exist if it wasn't for these developers donating their time - The commit log is basically for developers or power users/contributors only. It's a fairly harmless place to advertise these sponsorship messages. For a while there was a few "sponsored by" messages in code comments - that's a much worse/more intrusive place for these messages. - It lets us blow off steam when release pressures ramp up :P see 68c49fe09, 34f00d106 and 2427546d8 So, +1 for allowing these messages.
