Hi Andreas, Barend,
We definitely could have been clearer in the question. But I think the
"real" organisation size matters as well, the IT infrastructure overhead
is relative to the organisation size and not the number of users (which
also would have been interesting).
Note to self: be hyper-precise in future survey questions

Hi Barend,
Right - that question should have been more clearly stated. I agree
and apologize for not noticing it when we discussed it.
Thanks for filling in the survey!

Just a side-note: I filled in the survey and said I work in an
organization of >100 employees. That is because my university has
almost 800 staff. But only a max of 50 or so use QGIS regularly. On
the other hand we have 3200 students of which also a proportion uses
it...
In other words, don't make assumptions on actual QGIS users based on
that survey question!

Hi Michael,
Yes, I interpret it is the nr of employees using (Q)GIS on a regular
basis within an organization. And it is based on self-declaration and
there is no control about the numbers whatsoever.
We have quite a nr of municipalities that support us on the "small"
level as sustaining member.
All is based on a voluntary contribution anyway and you are not
required to be a member in order to use QGIS.
Greetings,
Andreas

Sustaining membership works out a bit steep for us if you follow
the guideline – about 10 times what we currently pay for
commercial software (Manifold).
Is it reasonable to interpret number of employees as GIS users
rather than total employees?
I see my local council is on there as small, and I’m sure they
have more than 10 employees.
Obviously no limits apply if we go with donations without membership.

Dear Iain,
Yes, QGIS has an entity: QGIS.ORG is the worldwide association of
QGIS users and developers. QGIS.ORG is constituted as a Swiss
‘association’
(https://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/charter.html)
but it is not a registered charity.
To help support QGIS, organizations are invited to become
sustaining members of QGIS.ORG. The details of our sustaining
membership program are described in:
https://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/sustaining_members/sustaining_members.html
You can also see who's already supporting QGIS:

Anita
