I was wondering if it might be a good idea to build up some list of clever Haskell people who would be happy to do consultancy work on advanced techniques. Something along the lines of name, location, contact information, special expertise. I know that there are a couple of companies out there who are willing to do that sort of thing, but sprinkled among university faculty, etc. there must be a whole lot more people out there, often with quite unique expertise regarding how to bend Haskell to various problem domains, who are willing to help out interesting projects but not as their full-time job. Of course, who might volunteer to compile and maintain such a list is another matter, even if it's thought to be a good idea. (-: Perhaps, collating the information would most naturally be part of the HC&A report compilation process, then it could just be copied to a separate web page too. -- Mark (inventing work for people again)

I have something of a vested interest both in being on such a list and in companies being able to see that Haskell support is available and, oh look, Alastair's available :-) So I'd be happy to compile such a list. Anyone wanting to be on the list should fill in the form below and mail it directly to me. I'll create a page on haskell.org and announce where it is sometime soon. Here's the information that I think would be useful - feel free to provide additional info or to suggest a field that I've missed out. Name: Employer: Contact email: Web page: Phone number: Special Expertise: Previous projects/ experience: Full time/part time?: Restrictions: Notes: - Name should be either your name or name of company if the company as a whole does consulting work. e.g., if your day job is lecturer at University of XXX, just give your name. - Employer should be used only if consulting is a part time job. e.g., If your day job is lecturer at University of XXX, put that here. - I'll encode the email address using (dot) for ., (at) for , etc. for the usual (weak) defence against spam. - The web page should probably point to something equivalent to a CV - Instead of just "yes/no" for full/part time, you might want to indicate approx number of hours, times of year, etc. - Restrictions might be something like 'OpenSource projects only' - Something about whether you would want paid or not seems relevant too but I can't quite think how to phrase it. Personally, my entire income comes from consulting work (and it keeps me busy pretty much 100% of the time) so I don't do all that many jobs for free per year. Those at universities might do some jobs for the fun of it or in the hope of getting a paper out of it or a motivating example for a class. -- Alastair Reid http://www.haskell-consulting.com/

I have created a list of consultants at: http://haskell.org/consultants.html Corrections, additions and comments welcome. -- Alastair Reid
