Where Can I Find Linux Porters?

David asks: "Many small software developers would love to get their software up and running on Linux, but where can competent Linux porters be found? I ask because, a while ago, I released a shareware game called Lugaru. I developed it for Mac OS with the intention of porting it to Windows and Linux. I was able to easily find several developers willing to port it to Windows at a reasonable cost (a fair portion of the sales) but I am clueless about how to find people with the Linux expertise. It is frustrating because I get many emails and forum queries asking me about a Linux version. I really want it to happen and am willing to pay - the problem simply is that I don't know how to go about finding Linux developers. So, I ask Slashdot."

dear slashdot,..

I am to (stupid|lazy|ignorant|important|stingy) to (do my own research|make use of appropriate commercial services|read the fucking manual|use google|pay for advertising). Please take care of my (personel problem|hardware issue|software issue|publicity|homework) for me. Even though my pathetic plea is in no way related to news, nor does it have any more significance than my stinky underwear, I'm sure this request is worthy of a front page story where it will be viewed by many thousands of (dorks|nerds|geeks|lusers|hax0rs|trolls) who have nothing better to do than reload slashdot all day. Thank you, and I apologize in advance if this is a dupe.

Morone.

I love it when a troll does something like this! I lost a mouth full of coffee when I read the parent post!

I'd be willing to bet the "team" referred to in the GP post is a group of college students who need money. Some people I know were thinking about doing something like this to make some extra money. They abandoned the idea, of course.
