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

|
||
|
||
** Please keep the entries in this file alphabetical **

those often found on PCs.

Our unique focus on emacs-related work allows us to attract expert talent in

||
this area to keep you on the leading edge of productivity, especially if you

supported, including all tools shipped as a standard part of the original
|
||
package distribution. In general, we want to give you an unbelievably strong
|
||
level of support, so where we can, we will also answer questions concerning
|
||
any add-on Lisp code that is used at your site. Setup and customization
|
||
help, bug fixes, and announcements of new releases are, of course, included.
|
||
|
||
Support rates start at $1,500 USD, for single user support for one year.
|
||
Discounts are available for group contracts. We also offer Golden Support
|
||
contracts for those who need the absolute best in mission-critical support;

What I do:

|
||
bunch of other GNU programs as well. I maintain GNU vmslib.
