Programme d’adhésion de soutien

QGIS est un projet open source. Le développement de QGIS, sa documentation, ses sites web et son infrastructure sont en grande partie assurés par des bénévoles. Depuis la création du projet en 2002, nous avons constitué une base de code importante, précieuse et utile, que chacun est libre d’utiliser et d’améliorer.

Nous mettons gratuitement à disposition le code source et les binaires de QGIS sur notre site web. Malgré les résultats remarquables obtenus grâce à cette approche bénévole, nous avons besoin de financements supplémentaires pour soutenir notre travail.

Comment les fonds sont utilisés

Voici quelques-unes des dépenses auxquelles nous affectons les fonds que nous recevons :

  • payer des développeurs pour corriger des bugs
  • notre programme annuel de subventions destiné à financer des améliorations majeures du projet QGIS
  • frais d’hébergement liés à notre infrastructure serveur
  • les améliorations apportées aux bibliothèques en amont dont dépend QGIS,
  • un responsable de la maintenance de l’infrastructure web à temps plein
  • rédacteur de documentation à temps plein

In the future we hope to expand these activities as funding allows.

Niveaux d’adhésion

27 000 € et plus

Sustaining memberships last one year, after which they may be continued with a new payment, or allowed to lapse. Sustaining memberships do not include voting rights. Existing voting rights remain unaffected.

Membership fees are approved or changed by the QGIS general assembly. They are defined as minimum fees per category, but the sustaining member may choose to pay more than the minimum if they wish.

Because QGIS.ORG is a global project and different companies, NGOs or governmental organizations have different financial means, we do not mandate membership levels. Sustaining members self-select whichever level they are able to afford.

L’acceptation des membres de soutien est soumise à la discrétion et à l’approbation du conseil d’administration, qui se réserve le droit d’accepter ou de rejeter les demandes d’adhésion de soutien et les adhésions de soutien continu, selon ce qui est jugé approprié.

Sustaining membership benefits

Soutenir le projet QGIS en tant que membre de soutien offre les avantages suivants:

Public Acknowledgment

All sustaining members and donors will be listed on the project Members page, ordered by membership category with a link back to the sustaining member’s organization or company website and their logo sized according to their membership category.

Enhanced Software Quality

Contributions from sustaining memberships aid in resolving bugs and issues promptly, resulting in a better user experience.

Enhanced Brand Exposure

Flagship, large and medium sustaining members will have their logo on the QGIS homepage footer banner with a logo size and order reflecting their membership category

Public Acknowledgment

You may use a special version of the QGIS logo on your website and materials, signaling your support for the project.

Keep QGIS Ad Free

Sustaining memberships help to ensure we do not need to employ ‘user hostile’ tactics, such as advertising, to fund the project.

The decision on how funds are spent will be made by the QGIS Project Steering Committee, proposed in a budget that will be approved or declined by the QGIS.ORG general assembly.

💁

About ‘earmarked’ funding

We regret that we do not accept ‘earmarked’ funding as it creates many administrative issues. If you are interested in funding specific aspects of QGIS development, we encourage you to allocate additional human resources to the project, e.g. hiring a developer, or participating in our bug fixing initiative.

⚠️

Attention

Acceptance of sustaining membership applications is at the discretion of the QGIS PSC. We reserve the right to decline offers of sustaining members if the membership organisation or party seems to be at odds with the ethos of our project. For example offers from marketing companies that have nothing to do with GIS / spatial services, or offers where we have reason to believe the presence of the sustaining member logo and marketing materials on our site and other materials will degrade the experience of our users will be declined.
