Author here. Inspired by John Oliver's segment[0] on 911, I've drafted a system which can communicate the location of emergency callers, but without any major infrastructure upgrades. I have no idea how to reach somebody who might be interested in getting this implemented. Can somebody help?

Google Domains (if you're in the US) or AWS Route 53. They cost about the same ($12/year for most domains, including private registration) but AWS charges extra (about $6/year) if you host your DNS with Route 53 as well.

SEEKING WORK -- Delhi, India (Remote work preferred; I am also willing to travel)
I'm a software developer and operations guy. I love taking on interesting and challenging projects where there's a lot of figuring out to do and an elegant system to be built. I have more than eleven years of paid work experience; I have been hacking and programming for much longer than that.
The five most recent languages I used are .NET/C#, XSLT, JavaScript/node.js, Windows PowerShell, and shell script, with a side of HTML5 and CSS.
WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU
Pretty much anything, but here’s what I absolutely love doing:
1. Setting up servers. I love building servers on AWS and Azure, and more generally, setting up an infrastructure for app deployment/website hosting, like on Google App Engine, Heroku, or static sites on S3. I love building out the automated scripts and processes that take your code, build it, and deploy it to one of these.
2. Packaging software. I love writing Windows installers for all sorts of software, and even more so, developing tools and build scripts that actually generate installers.
3. Automating stuff. I love writing scripts and software to automate anything and everything, from simple Microsoft Word document processing, to more complex Node.js scripts to send out hundreds of email messages per second via Amazon SES.
CONTACT ME
You can contact me via email: [email protected] or Skype: ndabas.
On a side note, I like using Elance as a project management and escrow platform, and you can check out my Elance profile (work history + client reviews) at http://niksci.elance.com/. On Elance, I am usually ranked among the top 1000 contractors, out of a total of nearly 150,000.
Thanks, Nik.
