TL;DR: If you (as an individual) or a company you work for is interested |
| 2 |
in providing some kind of technical consulting for Gentoo, add your |
| 3 |
information to the table in the draft I created in my wiki space: |
| 4 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Maffblaster/Drafts/Consultants |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Eventually the draft document will be moved to Foundation namespace on |
| 7 |
the wiki and will be maintained by a foundation member. Those who wish |
| 8 |
to be added to the list will need to open a new discussion. |

I reopened bug 43477; since it was dealing with exactly the same goal. |
| 11 |
The process can be tracked there. |

You might ask: why do we need something such as this? Can people use a |
| 14 |
search engine? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Good question. Yes, our internal search has found about a dozen |
| 17 |
different individual/consulting firms offering support, however finding |
| 18 |
them was not as easy as it should be. Also, having a list on official |
| 19 |
contact list on Gentoo infra makes corporations who are used to |
| 20 |
Microsoft-like technical support feel better (really). |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I work as an Operating System Engineer for a company that uses Gentoo. |
| 23 |
Management has asked where they can contact/recruit technical support in |
| 24 |
the event that I get hit by a bus. I've scanned all the Gentoo pages, |
| 25 |
and after talking to a3li (our main webmaster), was directed a page that |
| 26 |
was very much out of date. It seems the previous Consultants page was |
| 27 |
not moved anywhere after wwwold.g.o when offline. This necessitated me |
| 28 |
reopening that bug so that we can have a list. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
If you or the company you work for is open to technical consulting I |
| 31 |
hope to see your name added to the list. |

Kind regards, |
