Fine with that but currently it is not that obvious that the service provider directory is the correct vehicle, at least to me.

[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo list of programmers?
Hi all, I was recently asked by a company which was originally focused on proprietary software development and gradually opens up to OSGeo related development, how to deal with the problem of (quickly) finding software developers specialized in OSGeo related software. Their problem is that they are not much familiar with our community style of development and that they need to sometimes find quick solutions for tight deadlines. Perhaps we need something similar to Service Provider Directory at http://www.osgeo.org/search_profile which is better supporting the many individuals in our communities in the style of rent an OSGeo programmer? This could even stimulate the market and contradict the still existing opinion that FOSS is less supported with contracts and such. Note: a company, say, from my current home town will unlikely call in India or US or ... to find an OSGeo programmer. They prefer a person who speaks Italian and is ideally not too far away for practical reasons. But how to find such people? Here OSGeo could help and offer a dedicated list where individuals could register to showcase their skills. Best seen with direct links to OSGeo SVN record of course...! Opinions?
