It would be cool if we could somehow integrate LinkedIn, which publishes an API.  Membership of LinkedIn groups (maemo, maemo daemons, et al) should be a field at the very least (and one-to-many at that).<br />

someone has to be first.<br />
<br />
some of the fields don't quite sit right, "available/busy" doesn't make sense because a person may not wish to note that publicly and will never remember to come here to update them.<br />

I added this field with the freelancers in mind, but can be changed to "contact(s)" or something else, fell free to edit :)<br />
<br />
I would like also to generate more activity in the Maemo Jobs board[1]. I'm searching for the responsible for the page/email, if someone have clues please tell me.<br />
<br />
Thanks!!<br />

btw, now that <a target="_blank" href="http://maemo.org">maemo.org</a> is an independent site please use that wiki page<br />
or whatever better alternative to highlight companies and professionals<br />
ready to work on Maemo. There is demand already, and not only from Nokia<br />
as usual, but also from other companies willing to get software and<br />
services integrated to Maemo. I see no reason why this demand won't grow.<br />
<br />
Also, if you want to work on maemo for a living make sure<br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://forum.nokia.com/maemo">http://forum.nokia.com/maemo</a> knows about you. They can help you in many<br />
ways.<br />
</blockquote></div>
<div><br />
What about create a wiki page with professionals ready to work on Maemo (as Quim suggested above), something very simple with links (profile, linkedin,..) and personal intentions (looking for a job, internship, freelancer...). IMO will help the companies looking for professionals and the professionals himself. Don't know if forum.nokia provides something similar.<br />

<br />
Help needed:<br />
<br />
- Introduction<br />
- Define a category for the page<br />
- Check if table fields are sane or we need more information.
