Well deserved recognition! Congratulations and good luck with the whole thing.
Hey! Congrats! That is terrific news!
Well done Gong. It will be interesting to see how your project maps to various UK-based Internet-enabled democracy projects. I have been planning to approach the Buckminster Fuller Institute about collaborating on an event I am planning, which will be based on design processes.
dude this is amazing. Keep me posted on this. :)
Congrats Gong! This is good news.
Way to go Gong!
Dymaxion!
Congratulations Gong!
Personally, I didn't really have a doubt. It's a well laid out idea that is actually doable.
Now get to answering your followup questions!

What were the followup questions? You must have sent the answers in already. Can you post them?
