If you answered YES to any of these questions, or need help with your FOSS project or routine systems maintenance, I am your guy. I am available as a consultant through The NERDS Group, please see our website for contact information and to request pricing. I am available for “on site” work in Maryland, DC, Northern Virginia, Pennsylvania in the Hanover / Gettysburg / York areas, and in other areas if you are willing to pay for travel. I am available for remote work anywhere provided that I can get a good remote connection to your location.
I created this Wiki to start keeping notes online about various research projects. Hopefully, this approach will make it easier to respond to requests for this information rather than digest it into an e-mail, for example.
