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
37 For a current copy of this directory, or to have yourself listed, ask:

541 Experience:
542 Fluent in C, C++, Emacs Lisp, Pascal as well as assembler
543 on VAX, Motorola 680x0, Intel 8086 and 80x86. Modified key
544 elements in Emacs (e.g., memory and process management) to work
545 transparently on VMS. I have very good knowledge in the VMS
546 operating system, as well as MS-DOS and IBM PC compatibles.
547 I have worked for four and a half years as a VMS system manager.
548 I've also provided consulting services on IBM PC compatibles,
549 as well as held classes for IBM PC users.
550 A reference list is available on request.

834 Experience:
835 I have B.A. and M.A. degrees in Computer Science and have completed
836 all but the dissertation for a Ph.D. in C.S. My research for my
837 Ph.D. is in the areas of logic, type systems, and programming
838 language theory. My primary programming languages are Emacs Lisp,
839 Perl, and Bourne shell, but of course I can program in any language.
840 I have written numerous Emacs Lisp packages. I started the USENET
841 "List of Frequently Asked Questions about GNU Emacs with Answers" and
842 maintained it for more than two years. Most of my work has been
843 related to the telephone system (modems, voice mail, etc.), but I am
844 not limited to that. Send e-mail for my complete resume or curriculum
845 vita.
846
847 Programs supported:
848 GNU Emacs and Taylor UUCP:
849 Installation, training, customization, bug fixing, troubleshooting,
850 extension, development, porting, or answering any kind of question.
851 Any other GNU program:
852 The same things, but I don't necessarily have huge amounts of
853 experience with the particular program.
854
855 Working conditions:
856 I am usually available for part-time work (less than 20 hours per week
857 including any travel time). I can sometimes make time for full-time
858 work for a month or two; please inquire. I can either work in or near
859 Boston or via the Internet or via telephone; travel outside the Boston
860 metropolitan area can be negotiated. My schedule is very flexible.
861 Any programs I write will normally have the copying conditions of the
862 GNU General Public License; this is negotiable.
863
864 Rates: $65/hour as an independent contractor.
865 travel and telephone expenses.
866 higher rates if extensive travel is required.

874 I'm a better "planner" than I am a hacker. A really good hacker will be able
875 to keep many pieces of information in their short-term memory and to memorize
876 new pieces of information at a fast rate. This is not my strong point.
877 Rather, I excel in domains that require knowledge of the slightly more
878 theoretical parts of computer science --for example, logic, formal methods of
879 program development, and functional programming. I can write, and I have
880 "tutoring" (teaching one-on-one) experience, an, unlike some programmers,
881 I enjoy doing these things.
882
883 I have spend a lot of time looking at the Emacs Lisp sources and customizing
884 Emacs and VM. I think I can customize Emacs and its packages quickly and
885 effectively.
