[olug] Apache web server support questions

[Daniel Pfile]

Ahh yes, paktronix, I was trying to remember the name of that company. 
There are a lot of really smart people on this list, Matt is one of 
them. Of course, I'm bidding on this, so I can't sing too many praises. 
:-) But I will concede that routing is not one of my strongest points, 
and there are a couple of people on this list who really know their 
stuff on that subject, Matt is one of those.

Is that Open Source Consultants guide something started by somebody who 
either asked the list, or directly mailed a bunch of people on this 
list asking for people who would be interested in working with his 
network of consultants? If so, that's the other company I was trying to 
remember when I mailed Mr. Rogers. I'd like to know what happened to 
that since I'm trying to get back into doing some part time consulting.
