Hmm. This has gotten better response (on and off list) than I expected.
I think a web page might be a good idea. Name of consultant, area
covered, email and/or phone number, whether they handle commercial
and/or residential. No rates on the page, because I don't want people to
just go to the cheapest guy and start a bidding war. I could put a link
on it to send me a form if you want to sign up. SLUG, of course,
wouldn't vouch for your skills (Linux or interpersonal), but it would be
a good way to connect the community with our SLUG folks, and in a tight
job market....
BTW, for you _companies_ out there (like NKS) who do this, you're
welcome to sign up as well. I'd probably put them in a separate
category, since you don't really want to do small home installs.
Let me work on it, and I'll put something out when I'm done. Hopefully
this weekend.
Paul
