19		You can help any of the following ways:
20		Add the company you work for to the "Companies" tab. Any kind of company or organisation doing tech is ok: Web, Finance, Embedded Systems, Gaming, (even the local council if they've got a software team)!

32		What it is:
33		Freely editable google spreadsheet with information on where tech is happening in Scotland. Currently lists >400 companies
34
35
36		Challenges:
37		- getting people to add/curate existing content (current theory: I think people browse mostly on phones, and can't edit without installing the Google Sheets app), as I can't put a lot of time into it.
38		- better quality categorisation of companies
39		- finding dev teams within organisations like local government
40		- identifying what's missing (my gut feel is there's easily another 300-1k companies to add, but most existing entries have come through business directories or searches on twitter for "developers/python/java/etc near me").
41
42		How it began:
43		The wikipedia article on Silicon Glen is short and out of date.
44		I was finding out about companies geographically near me in similar industries that I just wasn't coming across unless they were hiring.
45		I heard of Eden Shochat, who successfully crowdsourced the Israeli startup scene in a Google spreadsheet.
