Incredible response from the community with 4/5th of the funds already pledged. Just 10k more and we can start the implementation. Who wants to be on the list of donors - there are still a few places left: lutraconsulting.co.uk/crowdfunding/p…

Crowdfunding target reached for point clouds in #QGIS - huge thanks for your support so far. We are preparing stretch goals, stay tuned! lutraconsulting.co.uk/crowdfunding/p…

Less than a week left on our crowdfunding campaign to support point cloud data in #QGIS. Note that contributions are still welcome and will be used towards stretched goals, see: lutraconsulting.co.uk//crowdfunding/…
