Freelance

Hey everyone, here is something I bet you haven't heard before...I'm looking to find a drupal freelancer that could work on an existing drupal site. We would be looking at paying 65 per hour preferably based in Melbourne. We currently have a developer who is excellent, but like all excellent developers is in high demand so we need back up.
If anyone is interested please email me sarah.cole@deepend.com.au. Thanks for your time and hope this is an appropriate question in this group.

Hello All,

I wanted to introduce myself virtually before I arrive in town permanently. My name is Jonathan Pichot, I'm a recent graduate of Pacific Union College, a small liberal arts school in California. Before finishing there, though, I had spent my Junior year at Aquinas College. I also have family in Grand Rapids, so I know the town well.

I'm wondering if anyone here who works as an independent freelancer can give me some insight into how they usually structure projects. I currently work with a few full-time people--we are all self-taught and do Drupal as only part of our jobs. We're applying for a grant that would involve building a new site, and we could hire an outside person to work on it as a consultant/contractor.

Yet another shout out as I'm getting overloaded with projects again!

Please mail me at steve@purkiss.com if you're in Brighton and interested, detailing your current level of expertise.

Am particularly interested in any uni students/graduates wanting to learn more Drupal and get some commercial freelance experience.

Will be a mix of working from home and our office in North Laine.

This session is intended to be a laid back discussion about the benefits and drawbacks of freelancing as a Drupaler. The main theme here is how the the individual actually represents a community, and clarifying the difference between working as a Drupaler in the freelance world and more 'generic' kinds of web-design related freelancing.

Topics include but are not limited to

• Pitching a project
• Legal paperwork & proposals
• Development vs. design & theming and time management
• How to deal with crazy people
• Q & A

At the Drupal NYC Meetup on March 10th we discussed ways to ensure that life is more bearable for the designer/developer from the start of a project.

Hi folks

I'm thinking of renting 150m2 warehouse space in Melbourne, and will be inspecting the space tomorrow. My idea is to create a creative work/play venue for web-dev (especially Drupal) and multimedia freelancers. We can work independently, as many of us already do, or collaborate on larger projects. I would also like to set up a basketball hoop and ping-pong table, maybe some beanbags. The rent is very cheap. If you think you might be interested, please let me know ASAP as this will help me decide. Ph/txt 0405478912

Rock on,

Hi, OnlineWD www.onlinewebsitedesign.net is looking to work on new and exciting projects. Specialising in LAMP, Drupal, CSS, Flash and art and design. Nearly all sites in the portfolio are Drupal CMS sites, we eat complex and customised modules/functionalities for breakfast.

We get requests for work from time to time that would be better suited for freelancers. Are there Drupal freelancers out there who are looking for work?

If so please comment here.

I'm wondering how many people on this group (if anyone) might be looking for freelance or project work?

My agency is looking right now for resources we can call on when our workload is heavy or when the issue is outside my areas of competence. I'm sure that as Drupal catches on in this region, there will be others in a similar position. So I was thinking that maybe local people who have bandwidth for or interest in freelance work could post here and describe what they think they could take on (or what they're interested in working on).
