-*- text -*- 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!

COMMERCIAL PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANCY: - Please state you want to pay for consultancy at commercial rates, & outline your project duration, etc. ! NO FREE HELP ! - I Am Not A Help Desk ! I have no time to do that. Neither the FSF nor anyone else pays me to offer any such service. - I contribute source code to the public domain, but I sell my time, which is Not available as a public service. - I dislike phone calls from strangers seeking free advice on things I may well not know enough about. Post such questions to an Internet newsgroup or list (via a friend if you don't have Internet access) & let someone with time, best knowledge, & inclination answer. - If you must phone me, immediately ask for a few minutes advice "Free Of Charge" (else if you just swamp me in technicalities without first having the decency to let me know you'r Not a potential paying customer, you'r just encouraging me to hang up). - Give me an email address, so I can forward follow-up info. - Volunteer to phone back next week to hear subsequent info/solutions/ questions I/friends/net have come up with meantime: Almost always the information I have instantly to hand is a small fraction of the useful information I could provide. I despise those who do not phone back later, after I've spent time researching their problem; but I refuse to also waste my money on long distance calls to inform them what I've previously wasted my time learning for their benefit. - Language: Make an effort, speak some English ! Use no German dialect, only Hoch Deutsch. Spell very slowly & clearly, I am Not good at fast German pronunciation, & don't recognise umlauts ! - Numbers: Use Only single digits (think of keyboard input), use no inverted German digit pairs (EG no "eight hundred, two and thirty", & no convoluted French (EG "four twenties and fifteen") !
