That being said, I do need to hire python/django developers and system admins from time to time to help me out with projects or take something off my plate. Is there a good *free* resource to browse freelance Django developers and/or post freelance gigs? I'm typically hiring somebody to help with very small, open-source projects for which I am not trying to make money off of. So paying $300 at github, stackoverflow, or any other paid job posting site is not an option.

For jobs of this nature, you can probably build relationships with developers over a period of time and then get things done from one of them based on their schedules.  Can start with a posting in this group, and based on who replies, start a conversation and build rapport.  I am pretty sure that there are many moonlighters who can help, but its just that you need to have a couple of them, so that your schedules are not impacted.

http://djangopeople.net/ can also be a place where you can search for people across nations.

I recently posted an ad for a paid gig in an open source project in this group; you would be suprirised, but i got just ONE response and even that person wanted a longer engagement period.
