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!

869 I have B.A. and M.A. degrees in Computer Science and have completed
870 all but the dissertation for a Ph.D. in C.S. My research for my
871 Ph.D. is in the areas of logic, type systems, and programming
872 language theory. My primary programming languages are Emacs Lisp,
873 Perl, and Bourne shell, but of course I can program in any language.
874 I have written numerous Emacs Lisp packages. I started the USENET
875 "List of Frequently Asked Questions about GNU Emacs with Answers" and
876 maintained it for more than two years. Most of my work has been
877 related to the telephone system (modems, voice mail, etc.), but I am
878 not limited to that. Send e-mail for my complete resume or curriculum
882 GNU Emacs and Taylor UUCP:
883 Installation, training, customization, bug fixing, troubleshooting,
884 extension, development, porting, or answering any kind of question.
885 Any other GNU program:
886 The same things, but I don't necessarily have huge amounts of
887 experience with the particular program.
890 I am usually available for part-time work (less than 20 hours per week
891 including any travel time). I can sometimes make time for full-time
892 work for a month or two; please inquire. I can either work in or near
893 Boston or via the Internet or via telephone; travel outside the Boston
894 metropolitan area can be negotiated. My schedule is very flexible.
895 Any programs I write will normally have the copying conditions of the
896 GNU General Public License; this is negotiable.
898 Rates: $65/hour as an independent contractor.
899 travel and telephone expenses.
900 higher rates if extensive travel is required.

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