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!

841 Primarly I work on GNU software for VMS, both VAX and AXP. I've
842 been porting GNU Emacs to VMS since spring 1991. I've ported a
843 bunch of other GNU programs as well. I maintain GNU vmslib.
844 For further info, see http://www.lp.se/~levitte/prof/resume.html
847 To a varying degree (ranging from extention and porting to
848 installation and simple questions) at the time of updating this
850 - GNU vmslib, emacs, autoconf, zip, diffutils, m4, patch, texinfo,
851 C/C++; on both VMS and Unix.
852 - Other GNU programs to a small degree; on Unix.
853 For further info, look at http://www.lp.se/products/gnu.html
856 Fluent in TeX/LaTeX and many programming languages.
857 Modified key elements in Emacs (e.g., memory and process management)
858 to work transparently on VMS. I have very good knowledge in the VMS
859 operating system. I'm also knowledged in the a few Unix flavors.

891 fixing them to conform to GNU standards. I will gladly help novices and
892 intermediate computer users to understand, install, and use free software,

895 solve your problem myself.
897 I have installed and administered free and proprietary systems in home,
898 academic, and business environments. I have practical experience in most
899 aspects of Unix and network security. I know how to diagnose a complex

952 1984 to 1987 (TOPS-20) and from 1991 to present (Unix). since early 1994,
953 I have worked on GNU Emacs development, in both Lisp and C, and since mid
954 1995, I have been tracking the development code.
956 Services I offer the free software community include supporting Emacs users
957 and programmers with expert advice (gratis on USENET or mailing lists where
958 others may benefit), customizing and writing Emacs functions and packages,
959 delivering courses and seminars from tutorials to writing Emacs Lisp and C
960 extensions, and providing general aid with all GNU software.
962 My standard rate is a flat USD 80 per hour or USD 2 per minute (you decide
963 which time unit to apply), but to offset the cost of processing money, the
964 minimum credit card charge is USDÂ 100 and the minimum invoiced amount is
965 USD 250. Discounts are available to worthy causes -- present your case.
966 Time away from home is billed at USD 40 per hour around the clock to
967 encourage remote work. (Courses and seminars are negotiated individually.)
