Not really a commercial post but www.asteriskhelpdesk.com is good
place to at least post your profile or resume.

Although it appears there is little activity on
www.asteriskhelpdesk.com, there are quite a few projects being posted
regularly.  The service allows you to post project as well as job
opening.

The reason it appears so bare is because as soon as a customer decides
on a "Guru", the listing disappears from the "Open Projects'.

Anyways, the service is free and will stay that way.  I may get around
to upgrading and anding functionality.  I can tell you that I received
at least a dozen "Thanks Yous", for helping people find business.

Last I checked, there were around 150 consultants and including core
Devs such as OEJ and other people that really know their stuff.

Anyone wanting to help improve the site is welcome to.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro
