Hey folks,

Let me start by saying: Please don't email me your resume--this is not a job listing.

That being said, I do need to hire python/django developers and system admins from time to time to help me out with projects or take something off my plate. Is there a good *free* resource to browse freelance Django developers and/or post freelance gigs? I'm typically hiring somebody to help with very small, open-source projects for which I am not trying to make money off of. So paying $300 at github, stackoverflow, or any other paid job posting site is not an option.

It isn't an optical illusion. It just looks like one.

For jobs of this nature, you can probably build relationships with developers over a period of time and then get things done from one of them based on their schedules.  Can start with a posting in this group, and based on who replies, start a conversation and build rapport.  I am pretty sure that there are many moonlighters who can help, but its just that you need to have a couple of them, so that your schedules are not impacted.

http://djangopeople.net/ can also be a place where you can search for people across nations.

I recently posted an ad for a paid gig in an open source project in this group; you would be suprirised, but i got just ONE response and even that person wanted a longer engagement period.
