He's a nice guy, a fellow Linux FOSS nutcase
(who trys to make a living at it)

I don't have his direct email address...
I usually see him in the hallway, we are on the same
floor of the same office building.

My bet is, he's the kind of guy that knows the possible answers
and would help point you in the right direction for gear
and code...
