Check out www.elance.com, www.oDesk.com and www.Rentacoder.com - all 3 great sources for individual developers and small consulting shops, a good chunk of whom specialize in OSS.

They have the ebay model where the community rates the developer and/or the company but it can be hit-or-miss at times.

These are great resources for smaller projects and once you identify a handful of reliable, quality people you can engage them for longer term projects.

SpikeSource (www.spikesource.com) is another company that is focused solely on Open Source applications and actually certifies different stacks (many of which you mentioned) and provides services around those.

A lot of these companies have their own consulting/services division which also serves as their main source of revenue. SugarCRM has a well defined consulting practice that will assist in customizing the heck out of your instance and even provide maintenance, support with upgrades, etc.

Optaros (www.optaros.com) is another company that focuses almost entirely on implementing (and migrating to) Open Source applications.

Aztec Software is another company that does a lot of open source work but try and stay away from outsourcing your initial OSS projects especially at the start where you'd want hands-on implementation.

Beware!! All the Indian Outsourcing firms will claim they are experts at the LAMP stack and once you give them your project you'll basically experience the black hole!

Vivakos (www.vivakos.com) is a OSS integrator that focuses on SMEs across a broad set of industry verticals. They also do custom development, usually on top of various OSS platforms (e.g., Alfresco).

I suggest avoiding the freelance boards unless you're simply looking for a couple extra pair of hands.
