Upgrading a Ubuntu Mailman 3 Installation
Dear Mailman 3 wizards,
Several years ago I tried upgrading to Mailman 3 (I did install Mailman 2), but quickly ran into a thicket too complex for me to get out of. Two others - way more experienced than me at system-level manipulations - tried as well but did not succeed. Brian Carpenter of EMWD installed the system seemingly effortlessly, and seemingly overnight. We had a good relationship, and I was a beta site for his new product, SAAS. Brian also did the system MM3 upgrades as they appeared and would check that all was well a couple of times a year. Unfortunately, and I respect that, the current management at EMWD "don't provide working hands service for foreign Mailman 3 installations." I do not dare touch it, based on my earlier attempts with the installation. With Brian's passing I'm thus faced with a system that has no capable system support (I manage the lists, not the core). I have 50+ lists with 10000+ subscription total, and a lot of people depend on this tool. (It's a non-profit organization).
So, I'm interesting in hiring someone for part-time, occasional work (a few times a year). Update MM3 as new versions are made available. Diagnose and fix the system if anything goes awry.
I will pay you, as I did Brian, out of my own pocket, for your time.
Yours,
Allan Hansen

While most of the relevant consultants probably follow this list, let me remind you (and as important, everyone else who might be in your situation) that we have a consultants' listing. You can contact them directly.
It's self-curated by the consultants themselves, so "buyer beware" -- we don't vet them at all.
