Hi, my employer is in need of help with some aspects of setting up and customizing Zorin on his new machine. Located in Wakefield and it is a paid job of course. Hoping to schedule something for the week of March 6th but am flexible.
Linux help in the Ottawa area?
- Thread starter sjs
- Start date
I know where Ottawa is - in Canada.
I know where Wakefield is, in a couple of states.
Also, your post isn't likely to get much traction. Those of us who regularly offer assistance (those most qualified) are kinda sedentary. If it were in Wakefield, MA, for example, you wouldn't even want to pay my 4 hours (each way) of travel.
I don't see anyone risking their time for a maybe paycheck. (We have no history for you as a poster, so it's not like we'll extend blind trust.)

Ok, clearly I was directed to the wrong forum. It was an honest request, but apparently laughable. Thank you for the Geography lesson though. Next time don't forget Wakefield England- population 109,766...
Today is Sunday and you posted only five hours ago. Give people a chance to notice your thread, but I would look into other sources as well.
If someone here is near Ottawa and they are interested, they will contact you with a personal message to ask for more details about your employers. They will want to qualify your employer, and you will want to qualify them.
I live far away, but a quick web search turned up the Ottawa Linux Users Group. I know nothing about them, but they have a web page titled "Jobs and Seekers". Did you try them?

P.S. Wakefield is in Quebec, right? Does the job require French?

@sjs welcome to linux.org 
Something I tell newcomers who are confused as to our purpose
Certainly not a laughable matter for you, nor for us.
I would advocate performing a Google search with keywords
professional linux help canada
and see if it bears any fruit.
Of course your employer is welcome to join us himself/herself and ask questions directly related to Zorin, but we do not have the resources to extend to one-on-one mentoring, help provided may be from people with experience from many timezones around the world.
Hope this helps.

One more thought - the business model employed by the Zorin brothers includes an option for a paid for version (a rarity in Linux).
If your employer purchased his Zorin, rather than just downloading and installing the free version, then he should be entitled to support from Zorin themselves.
Good luck.
