Workshops/Consulting/Freelancers

[sils]

Hey @stefanoco we're currently beginning to do workshops within the community. There are some companies, and you seem to be in one of them, that are using coala. Would you be interested in getting a workshop about coala, or a talk or so?

I'm just thinking we could provide some kind of support for a fee as an organization for more commercial needs.

Question to you would be: what are your needs? Can we do something to make your life easier while finding a way to fund a few coala people?

@sils1297 sorry for being so late answering. Yes this is something that we may need in the next few weeks, as we're now trying to understand how to enhance our workflow by using automate code analysis with such tools. I'll be back to you during september perhaps.

Cool!

So I can think of two models:

1. We do have some freelancers in the community. We can offer companies to get them in contact with those.
2. We can try to make an own organization, quality control the people and get them the contracts. We (which probably goes down to me in the end... I will be doing this with a client soon e.g.) would make workshops with the instructors probably to ensure the same quality for all.

Anyway, for this specific case @justuswilhelm and @Uran198 and me are currently freelancing and might be interested.

This is actually similar to what we're doing at Bluewind: consulting companies as a group of 10 engineers plus a few freelancers when needed (embedded systems design and embedded software development).

My understanding is that building a small organization (company) that keeps omogeneous methods / standards / quality of a groups of skilled freelancers is a winning model.
