    21GNU Service Directory 
    32--------------------- 
    43 
    5 See the end of file for copyright information. 
    6  
    7 This is a list of people who have asked to be listed as offering 
    8 support services for GNU software, including GNU Emacs, for a fee 
    9 or in some cases at no charge. 
    10  
    11 The information comes from the people who asked to be listed; 
    12 we do not include any information we know to be false, but we 
    13 cannot check out any of the information; we are transmitting it to 
    14 you as it was given to us and do not promise it is correct. 
    15 Also, this is not an endorsement of the people listed here. 
    16 We have no opinions and usually no information about the abilities of 
    17 any specific person.  We provide this list to enable you to contact 
    18 service providers and decide for yourself whether to hire one. 
    19  
    20 Before FSF will list your name in the GNU Service Directory, we ask 
    21 that you agree informally to the following terms: 
    22  
    23 1. You will not restrict (except by copyleft) the use or distribution 
    24 of any software, documentation, or other technical information you 
    25 supply anyone in the course of modifying, extending, or supporting GNU 
    26 software.  This includes any information specifically designed to 
    27 ameliorate the use of GNU software. 
    28  
    29 2. You will not take advantage of contact made through the Service 
    30 Directory to advertise an unrelated business (e.g., sales of 
    31 non-GNU-related proprietary information).  You may spontaneously 
    32 mention your availability for general consulting, but you should not 
    33 promote a specific unrelated business unless the client asks. 
    34  
    35 Please include some indication of your rates, because otherwise users 
    36 have nothing to go by.  Please put each e-mail address inside "<>". 
    37 Please put nothing else inside "<>".  Thanks! 
    38  
    39 For a current copy of this directory, or to have yourself listed, ask:

    117 several years now, and are used for mission-critical applications by 
    118 many organizations including Hewlett-Packard. Until now, assistance 
    119 was available only from Mark Klein of DIS on a limited, voluntary

    121 and he continues to maintain the software and port new versions. 
    122  
    123 Support contracts start at $1,995.00/year for an organization 
    124 (unlimited number of HP e3000 computer systems) with two designated 
    125 callers.  Additional options are available for large organizations who 
    126 need to designate more than two authorized callers, or who want the 
    127 additional security of 24x7 coverage.

    796 What I do: 
    797         Primarily I work on GNU software for VMS, both VAX and AXP.  I've 
    798         been porting GNU Emacs to VMS since spring 1991.  I've  ported a 
    799         bunch of other GNU programs as well.  I maintain GNU vmslib. 
    800         For further info, see http://www.lp.se/~levitte/prof/resume.html 
    801  
    802 Programs supported: 
    803         To a varying degree (ranging from extension and porting to 
    804         installation and simple questions) at the time of updating this 
    805         entry: 
    806         - GNU vmslib, emacs, autoconf, zip, diffutils, m4, patch, texinfo, 
    807           C/C++; on both VMS and Unix. 
    808         - Other GNU programs to a small degree; on Unix. 
    809         For further info, look at http://www.lp.se/products/gnu.html 
    810  
    811 Experience: 
    812         Fluent in TeX/LaTeX and many programming languages. 
    813         Modified key elements in Emacs (e.g., memory and process management) 
    814         to work transparently on VMS.  I have very good knowledge in the VMS 
    815         operating system.  I'm also knowledged in the a few Unix flavors.

    1135 We provide GNU software support at a reasonable charge, 
    1136 aiming to promote the sound growth of free software and to 
    1137 create a new culture in the software world. 
    1138  
    1139 News: 
    1140  
    1141    We have just started "GCC and CVS membership support service". 
    1142    We provide various support menus.  Please refer to 
    1143    http://osb.sra.co.jp/WingnutSupport/ for details. 
    1144  
    1145 What we provide is: 
    1146  
    1147    1. Research and development of GNU software. 
    1148    2. Development, porting, and customization of GNU software itself. 
    1149    3. Helping people who are willing to port and provide GNU software 
    1150       to their customers, but are unable to do so due to  a lack of resources. 
    1151    4. Providing a variety of educational and training services including 
    1152       how to port or to customize. 
    1153    5. The result of the work will become free software covered under the 
    1154       GNU licenses (GPL or LGPL), so it will be possible not only to share 
    1155       the results with others but to eliminate unnecessary investment also. 
    1156    6. Passing the result to the program package maintainers (if needed). 
    1157    7. Also, making contributions to FSF (Free Software Foundation, Inc.) 
    1158       which is the organization that develops and distributes GNU software 
    1159       worldwide.

    1161    Furthermore, we provide services *native to Japan*, that is, 
    1162    services for Japanese-speaking
