Contact makers of Arduino

Hi
I was wondering if there is any support offered by Arduino and if there is what their email is. Or is this support that I'm refering to this Forum in general?

hello

arduino is an opensource project and the support is done through this forum.
As you can see this forum is made of a lot of fantastic people who give great answers...

Still it is possible to hire the makers of arduino as consultants to work on your projects. Tinker.it, for example, does that
: provides consultancy to people who want to use arduino in their projects

info [at] tinker.it
