[LUNI] Contracting out

[Stephan V Bechtolsheim]

I have the opportunity of doing some consulting (computer related - let's leave it at that for now). I need someone to help me with that.
On top of that I have tons of little projects that I work privately on and that I need help with. One of those projects, for instance, involves doing some patent related search.
There is some Linux work, including some Perl and PHP code to write, etc. etc.
I am currently writing a summary of all those projects.

Yes - I will pay for the work, of course! I am willing to pay a reasonable amount of money (and I also do not know at this point in time what that really means - something else I need to figure out). I am a senior IT person and so I know like everywhere else: you get what you pay for.

Any suggestions of how to go about that?

I would like to have this done locally for the simple reason that I want to meet the person that will do my work, not just initially but also on an ongoing basis. I think breakfasts are the best form of project meetings .... Lunches and dinners quality too. I live in the Schaumburg area, as an FYI.

Thank you for your help.
