I don't know if it would be useful, but Debian has a listing of Debian
consultants, along with their rates.  It's sys admin, as opposed to
development, but it might be kind of useful.  Look for the Debian
consultants listing on the Debian website.

I would assume that you're familiar with the issue Nathan raised - the code
you write generally belongs to your employer, unless otherwise stated.  Do
make sure that you can agree to the terms of any contracts offered.  Sorry I
wasn't more helpful, but I do wish you all the best.  The Lord be with you!
