yes, I have worked through the whole consultants list, and the overall result was huge: 814 entries before and 410 after the cleanup. So there was a heavy amount of outdated data there, don't know what it looks like in your list. My workflow was as follows: I sent an e-mail to every consultant on the list, like this: =====%<======================================================================== Hello, this mail is to check, if you are still an active Debian consultant, and to ask, if your information on http://www.debian.org/consultants/ are still valid. Please take the time to check your entry in the following and sent me a mail with your answer: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Christophe Lemaire Company: exp-Networks sprl Address: 5030 Ernage, Belgium Phone: +32 497 73 00 47 Fax: +32 70 40 23 32 Email: [email protected] URL: http://www.exp-networks.be/ Rates: Please contact us for pricing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is an easy chance to update some of your data or to remove your entry. Thanks. Please note, that if I receive no answer within the next 8 weeks, I will delete your entry from the consultants list, as I want to bring the list back to an up-to-date status. Sorry for this. That list is of not good use, if it contains old or invalid entries (as it is unfortunately at the moment). Thus every consultant gets such a mail these days. Thanks again for taking the time Holger ======>%====================================================================== If a mail bounced (because of no longer existing domain, mail address oder the like) or if I got no answer within about 2 months, I have deleted the entry. My main problem was, that my mails were partly dropped, because my mail provider was (temporary?) listed on antispam blacklists. This was often the case for South-America. So you may need different mail accounts from different providers, to come around such cases.
