Along these lines, I would like the support area to have a consultants directory. That will give consulting companies (Like mine) a place to list themselves as providing CentOS support.
This can be a very fine line to walk.
A list of consultants can easily be misinterpreted as endorsement. If a bad consultant rips someone off or does bad work, this can reflect on the people hosting the list... and if that's the people who release the product, this can get even worse.
It's my belief that this list needs to be done by a 3rd party.
Yes. And the CentOS site can include Links to the various third party directories, with a disclaimer that the 'CentOS organization' does not specificly endorse, etc. either the third party listing/directory nor the people listed on these sites -- the standard legal mumbo jumbo.
