5 This is a list of people who have asked to be listed as offering
6 support services for GNU software, including GNU Emacs, for a fee
7 or in some cases at no charge.
9 The information comes from the people who asked to be listed;
10 we do not include any information we know to be false, but we
11 cannot check out any of the information; we are transmitting it to
12 you as it was given to us and do not promise it is correct.
13 Also, this is not an endorsement of the people listed here.
14 We have no opinions and usually no information about the abilities of
15 any specific person. We provide this list to enable you to contact
16 service providers and decide for yourself whether to hire one.
18 Before FSF will list your name in the GNU Service Directory, we ask
19 that you agree informally to the following terms:
21 1. You will not restrict (except by copyleft) the use or distribution
22 of any software, documentation, or other information you supply anyone
23 in the course of modifying, extending, or supporting GNU software.
24 This includes any information specifically designed to ameliorate the
27 2. You will not take advantage of contact made through the Service
28 Directory to advertise an unrelated business (e.g., sales of
29 non-GNU-related proprietary information). You may spontaneously
30 mention your availability for general consulting, but you should not
31 promote a specific unrelated business unless the client asks.
33 Please include some indication of your rates, because otherwise users
34 have nothing to go by. Please put each e-mail address inside "<>".
35 Please put nothing else inside "<>". Thanks!

802 Primarily I work on GNU software for VMS, both VAX and AXP. I've
803 been porting GNU Emacs to VMS since spring 1991. I've ported a
804 bunch of other GNU programs as well. I maintain GNU vmslib.
805 For further info, see http://www.lp.se/~levitte/prof/resume.html
808 To a varying degree (ranging from extension and porting to
809 installation and simple questions) at the time of updating this
811 - GNU vmslib, emacs, autoconf, zip, diffutils, m4, patch, texinfo,
812 C/C++; on both VMS and Unix.
813 - Other GNU programs to a small degree; on Unix.
814 For further info, look at http://www.lp.se/products/gnu.html
817 Fluent in TeX/LaTeX and many programming languages.
818 Modified key elements in Emacs (e.g., memory and process management)
819 to work transparently on VMS. I have very good knowledge in the VMS
820 operating system. I'm also knowledged in the a few Unix flavors.
821 For further info, see http://www.lp.se/~levitte/prof/resume.html
824 $70-$100/hour (500-800 SEK in sweden), plus expenses. My rates

851 I will help install badly-behaved source code packages, and have experience
852 fixing them to conform to GNU standards. I will gladly help novices and
853 intermediate computer users to understand, install, and use free software,
854 whether or not I have prior experience with that software. I know my
855 limitations well, and will freely give other contacts if I do not want to
856 solve your problem myself.
858 I have installed and administered free and proprietary systems in home,
859 academic, and business environments. I have practical experience in most
860 aspects of Unix and network security. I know how to diagnose a complex
861 existing computer system and incrementally replace it with a superior free
862 system without disrupting service.
864 I have over 2 years of experience with several of the major free OSes:
865 Linux/GNU (Red Hat, Debian, Slackware), NetBSD, FreeBSD, and GNU/Hurd. I am
866 the maintainer of GNU Libtool and GNU DLD. Some of my specialties are:
867 Emacs, Automake, Autoconf, SANE, C, Perl, and shell script programming.
869 My rates start at $10 (Canadian dollars) per hour. When I am not starving, I
870 do not charge worthy non-profit organizations.

907 Background: I have extensive experience with programming under Unix, in C
908 in particular (since 1983), with standards and specifications for Internet
909 protocols (since 1987), International Standards for character sets and
910 encoding schemes (since 1988), ISOÂ 8879 SGML (since 1990, national head of
911 delegation to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 18/WG 8 since 1991), and ANSI X3.226 Common
912 Lisp (since early 1994). I have been an Emacs user and programmer from
913 1984 to 1987 (TOPS-20) and from 1991 to present (Unix). since early 1994,
914 I have worked on GNU Emacs development, in both Lisp and C, and since mid
915 1995, I have been tracking the development code.
917 Services I offer the free software community include supporting Emacs users
918 and programmers with expert advice (gratis on USENET or mailing lists where
919 others may benefit), customizing and writing Emacs functions and packages,
920 delivering courses and seminars from tutorials to writing Emacs Lisp and C
921 extensions, and providing general aid with all GNU software.
923 My standard rate is a flat USD 80 per hour or USD 2 per minute (you decide
924 which time unit to apply), but to offset the cost of processing money, the
925 minimum credit card charge is USDÂ 100 and the minimum invoiced amount is
926 USD 250. Discounts are available to worthy causes -- present your case.
927 Time away from home is billed at USD 40 per hour around the clock to
928 encourage remote work. (Courses and seminars are negotiated individually.)
