A while ago I put out a call for people interested in sponsoring LVS. A few people stepped forward, but after thinking about it for a while, we realised that we didn't have a mechanism for accepting money (like a Foundation) and that none of us had enough spare time to code up requested features. (It seems like GPL coders have more important things to do with their spare time than earn money.)
However at least one of the potential sponsors was interested in advertising their skills on the LVS project somewhere (webpage, HOWTO) in exchange for money. We here at LVS central had discussed, a long time ago, the possibility of setting up a pool of people to do LVS work, but not having a way of checking people out beforehand, we dropped the idea. However a list of available people could be useful, independant of any exchanges of money, I'm prepared to try a section in the HOWTO which lists such people (let me know if you have better ideas). o The section will be labelled something like "People available for LVS work" (if you do loadbalancing that isn't LVS, then you're on your own). o entries will be listed in order of the date I receive them. entries will be listed for approximately a year (HOWTOs come out at erratic intervals and entries will come out whenever the next HOWTO comes out). If you want to be listed again next year, send me an e-mail in a year. If you really want people to know who you are, don't rely on the entry in the HOWTO - make sure google knows about you. o entries will have the format Jul 2007 your URL (eg <a http://www.foo.org>The Foo LVS service centre</a>) and/or e-mail, then a blurb of upto 80chars eg "We do it all". (Send me your info off-list.) o this will be minimum maintenance for me. I'm just going to mouse swipe your e-mail. (ie don't plan on changing your URL in the year). o entries will be free ($) o I will state that the I have no idea whether you're any good and that people should check the mailing list archives to see how helpful you can be.
