| GNU Service Directory |
| --------------------- |
| |
| This is a list of people who have asked to be listed as offering |
| support services for GNU software, including GNU Emacs, for a fee |
| or in some cases at no charge. |
| |
| The information comes from the people who asked to be listed; |
| we do not include any information we know to be false, but we |
| cannot check out any of the information; we are transmitting it to |
| you as it was given to us and do not promise it is correct. |
| Also, this is not an endorsement of the people listed here. |
| We have no opinions and usually no information about the abilities of |
| any specific person. We provide this list to enable you to contact |
| service providers and decide for yourself whether to hire one. |
| |
| Before FSF will list your name in the GNU Service Directory, we ask |
| that you agree informally to the following terms: |
| |
| 1. You will not restrict (except by copyleft) the use or distribution |
| of any software, documentation, or other information you supply anyone |
| in the course of modifying, extending, or supporting GNU software. |
| This includes any information specifically designed to ameliorate the |
| use of GNU software. |
| |
| 2. You will not take advantage of contact made through the Service |
| Directory to advertise an unrelated business (e.g., sales of |
| non-GNU-related proprietary information). You may spontaneously |
| mention your availability for general consulting, but you should not |
| promote a specific unrelated business unless the client asks. |
| |
| Please include some indication of your rates, because otherwise users |
| have nothing to go by. Please put each e-mail address inside "<>". |
| Please put nothing else inside "<>". Thanks! |
| |
| For a current copy of this directory, or to have yourself listed, ask: |

| Altrasoft provides corporate-quality support, development and user |
| documentation for GNU Emacs, XEmacs and InfoDock. (InfoDock is a turnkey |
| information management and software development toolset built atop emacs, |
| written by one of our associates.) Emacs distributions for a variety of |
| platforms are also available, as is support for other emacs variants, such as |
| those often found on PCs. |
| |
| Our unique focus on emacs-related work allows us to attract expert talent in |
| this area to keep you on the leading edge of productivity, especially if you |
| do software development work. We do the porting, patching, coding, |
| integrating, debugging, documenting and testing so that your people spend |
| much more productive time on their mainline tasks. |
| |
| Standard support packages include help on all aspects of the packages |
| supported, including all tools shipped as a standard part of the original |
| package distribution. In general, we want to give you an unbelievably strong |
| level of support, so where we can, we will also answer questions concerning |
| any add-on Lisp code that is used at your site. Setup and customization |
| help, bug fixes, and announcements of new releases are, of course, included. |
| |
| Support rates start at $1,500 USD, for single user support for one year. |
| Discounts are available for group contracts. We also offer Golden Support |
| contracts for those who need the absolute best in mission-critical support; |
| contact us for details. Hourly development rates and fixed bid work are |
| available. |

| I am an UNIX system programmer. My skills include writing in C and scripts. |
| |
| In the GNU domain, I consider myself an expert on Emacs. I have written several |
| packages in emacs-lisp (.el) including: better Hebrew support, another marking |
| system, emulation for CDC full screen editor (FSE), COBOL mode, mathematical |
| expression computing, and enhancements to vc.el (customization) and to ange-ftp |
| (added Novell and NT operating systems). |
| I have installed and tested Emacs and my el's on several machines: DG, |
| HP, Alpha (OSF) and PC (DOS). |
| I installed and worked with several other GNU packages - RCS, Gmake, GCC |
| and more, but I'm not an expert in these packages. |
| |
| I work in Israel and my normal rate is $40 per hour. |

| Background: I have extensive experience with programming under Unix, in C |
| in particular (since 1983), with standards and specifications for Internet |
| protocols (since 1987), International Standards for character sets and |
| encoding schemes (since 1988), ISOÂ 8879 SGML (since 1990, national head of |
| delegation to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 18/WG 8 since 1991), and ANSI X3.226 Common |
| Lisp (since early 1994). I have been an Emacs user and programmer from |
| 1984 to 1987 (TOPS-20) and from 1991 to present (Unix). since early 1994, |
| I have worked on GNU Emacs development, in both Lisp and C, and since mid |
| 1995, I have been tracking the development code. |
| |
| Services I offer the free software community include supporting Emacs users |
| and programmers with expert advice (gratis on USENET or mailing lists where |
| others may benefit), customizing and writing Emacs functions and packages, |
| delivering courses and seminars from tutorials to writing Emacs Lisp and C |
| extensions, and providing general aid with all GNU software. |
| |
| My standard rate is a flat USD 80 per hour or USD 2 per minute (you decide |
| which time unit to apply), but to offset the cost of processing money, the |
| minimum credit card charge is USDÂ 100 and the minimum invoiced amount is |
| USD 250. Discounts are available to worthy causes -- present your case. |
| Time away from home is billed at USD 40 per hour around the clock to |
| encourage remote work. (Courses and seminars are negotiated individually.) |

| Please call only about actual work, I prefer mail for all other questions. |
