2 | GNU Service Directory |
---|
3 | --------------------- |
---|
4 | |
---|
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. |
---|
8 | |
---|
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. |
---|
17 | |
---|
18 | Before FSF will list your name in the GNU Service Directory, we ask |
---|
19 | that you agree informally to the following terms: |
---|
20 | |
---|
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 |
---|
25 | use of GNU software. |
---|
26 | |
---|
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. |
---|
32 | |
---|
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! |
---|
36 | |

---|
521 | transparently on VMS. I have very good knowledge in the VMS |

---|
523 | I have worked for four and a half years as a VMS system manager. |

785 | Experience: |
---|
786 | I have B.A. and M.A. degrees in Computer Science and have completed |
---|
787 | all but the dissertation for a Ph.D. in C.S. My research for my |
---|
788 | Ph.D. is in the areas of logic, type systems, and programming |
---|
789 | language theory. My primary programming languages are Emacs Lisp, |
---|
790 | Perl, and Bourne shell, but of course I can program in any language. |
---|
791 | I have written numerous Emacs Lisp packages. I started the USENET |
---|
792 | "List of Frequently Asked Questions about GNU Emacs with Answers" and |
---|
793 | maintained it for more than two years. Most of my work has been |
---|
794 | related to the telephone system (modems, voice mail, etc.), but I am |
---|
795 | not limited to that. Send e-mail for my complete resume or curriculum |
---|

798 | Programs supported: |
---|
799 | GNU Emacs and Taylor UUCP: |
---|
800 | Installation, training, customization, bug fixing, troubleshooting, |
---|
801 | extension, development, porting, or answering any kind of question. |
---|
802 | Any other GNU program: |
---|
803 | The same things, but I don't necessarily have huge amounts of |
---|
804 | experience with the particular program. |
---|
805 | |
---|
806 | Working conditions: |
---|
807 | I am usually available for part-time work (less than 20 hours per week |
---|
808 | including any travel time). I can sometimes make time for full-time |
---|
809 | work for a month or two; please inquire. I can either work in or near |
---|
810 | Boston or via the Internet or via telephone; travel outside the Boston |
---|
811 | metropolitan area can be negotiated. My schedule is very flexible. |
---|
812 | Any programs I write will normally have the copying conditions of the |
---|
813 | GNU General Public License; this is negotiable. |
---|
814 | |
---|
815 | Rates: $65/hour as an independent contractor. |
---|
816 | travel and telephone expenses. |
---|
817 | higher rates if extensive travel is required. |

825 | I'm a better "planner" than I am a hacker. A really good hacker will be able |
---|
826 | to keep many pieces of information in their short-term memory and to memorize |
---|
827 | new pieces of information at a fast rate. This is not my strong point. |
---|
828 | Rather, I excel in domains that require knowledge of the slightly more |
---|
829 | theoretical parts of computer science --for example, logic, formal methods of |
---|
830 | program development, and functional programming. I can write, and I have |
---|
831 | "tutoring" (teaching one-on-one) experience, an, unlike some programmers, |
---|
832 | I enjoy doing these things. |
---|
833 | |
---|
834 | I have spend a lot of time looking at the Emacs Lisp sources and customizing |
---|
835 | Emacs and VM. I think I can customize Emacs and its packages quickly and |
---|
836 | effectively. |
