[OSGeo-Discuss] options for getting paid technical/mentoring support on foss geo applications

[Bob Basques]

All,

I just tried up to submit a new profile here: 
http://www.osgeo.org/submit_profile, for SharedGeo, but it says that 
there is already a record, but if I list everything and go through the 
list, I don't see it returned for any combination of filtering.

Anyone know who to contact about it?

Thanks

bobb
