I'm curious about how we can help Emacs folks find jobs or freelancing
contracts by connecting with each other. I don't really know how it
might work out yet, but if you're looking for someone to fill a
position or take on a freelancing contract, would you consider
e-mailing me at sacha@sachachua.com so that I can include it in Emacs
News? What kind of info might be useful? Short description, contact
info, location/remote, and whether the position is
free-software-compatible? Let's figure out what's possible! =)
