@anitagraser We made our report in December.

https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-psc/2020-December/009186.html

Nevertheless, we will keep working on adding a few more example test cases, and we plan to put the structure and methods to practice for 3.18 and 3.16LTR releases.

We will be wrapping up the annual report soon and would like to include the grant proposal reports (like last year, there will be a link to the blog post). @3nids and @mhugo could you provide status reports by mid of March?

Reports from these three projects are currently outstanding:

• Evaluate Qt for Python + Shiboken as a Python bindings solution QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals#163 (@3nids)
• Vectorization of selective masking QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals#186 (@mhugo)
• Setting registry QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals#124 (@3nids)

As for qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals#186 we are still looking for a review and it is not easy. We are working on it with Andreas, and we will keep you updated on the status as soon as we have visibility on the outcome.

I've published the blog post summarizing the currently available 7 reports: https://blog.qgis.org/2021/04/03/reports-from-the-winning-grant-proposals-2020/

The blog post will be updated with further reports as they come in.

Hi @3nids and @mhugo, could you please let me know about the status of the three outstanding project reports? It would be great to be able to close this ticket.

[3nids]

I sent it to PSC mailing list https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-psc/2021-October/009535.html
You can find the final report as a QEP here: qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals#237

[anitagraser]

Thank you for the fast response, @3nids! Do you also have an update for qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals#124 ?

[anitagraser]

@obrix have you been working on qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals#186 ?

[3nids]

Thank you for the fast response, @3nids! Do you also have an update for qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals#124 ?

Sorry for this, I will send a report in the next days.

[obrix]

@anitagraser Yes but I have not been in charge of this work for a while. It seems @troopa81 is in charge now, see last message on qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals#186

[troopa81]

@anitagraser I resumed the work started by @obrix and I am on the edge of releasing something, but there is still work to be done. The report will follow then. Sorry for the (great) delay

[3nids]

I just added the report for the setting registry: qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals#124 (comment)

[anitagraser]
