Last month I received an e-mail out of the blue from the Shuttleworth Foundation, informing me that one of their fellows had nominated me for a “flash grant” of $5000. The only string attached is to “tell us and the world what you have done with the money.”
I have applied this flash grant to support research now being carried out by University of Pennsylvania doctoral student Tim Libert, examining U.S.-based Internet companies for our inaugural ranking to be released in November.
Thank you Shuttleworth Foundation!!
More details on the companies we are ranking and the methodology being used to rank them will be announced next week, so stay tuned!
