Yet Another Society Community Funded Perl Development Grant Awarded to
Damian Conway

...
Blackstar (http://www.blackstar.co.uk), an on-line video sales company,
offered US$27,500 in matching contributions at the start of the fund
raising, amounting to half of what was needed to buy out Dr. Conway's
obligations at Monash University in Australia.  Other major contributions
came from VA Linux (http://www.valinux.com), Manning Publications
(http://www.manning.com), Stonehenge Consulting (http://www.stonehenge.com),
O'Reilly Publications(http://www.oreilly.com), and from several individuals.
Funding over the base amount is to be used for travel and expenses.

Paul
