Hi Zoltan, I believe the developers, contributors and translators get their recognition already. Their names are listed in the about box of our software. In addition you can read their names on github. I would not list number of source code lines or number of commits, because this is meaningless.

Hello all, I feel that we would have the exact same problem in Portugal. Public entities will not be able to donate, because they must justify the spent money with some direct need. On the other hand, to convince a decision maker or politician that investing in QGIS is (also) good for their image

Yes, I confirm this heavy constraint. Every develope with european fund ask to have a logo in it. More complex then this is when with the european fund you do a GIS archive. The european officers think only to a map as a pdf or as an image so they guess seem easy to put a logo on it. But if the

Hi all, I think a mention of the organization who funded a feature in the visual changelog is a reasonable request. Not much work and a fair recognition and "thank you" visible by many. In the visual changelog you also list the sponsors at the very top - so why not also mentioning the funding org

I agree with Paolo. A phrase like "totally fund" to a feature mean that none other other subject is allowed to fund for any evolution on it. Because that feture it totally charge on that PA. But also should be possibile to allow an history of a feature. So if a PA has fund for the first creation
