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! =)
