Selven pointed me to the companies who have contributed to LUGM:

  - ile-maurice.com
  - ncb.intnet.mu
  - Mediaspin.mu /TuxLab

I don't consider, for example, advising a web site against using 
Google Drive to store personal data as a consultancy ride.  It's part 
of the security advice I would give to anyone for free.  If someone 
has a problem installing an open source software I am familiar with, 
I would give some free advice to solve that problem.  I have received 
free consultancy rides from some (non-local) open source 
people.  That is probably because they know that I have contributed 
to open source.

I don't think that Logan would need any certification from LUGM.  He 
volunteers some time for Open Source work; you do that too.  There is 
very little recognition on the island for people who volunteer their 
time for (free) open source.
