If anyone would like to help build a list of notable Free Software
orientated companies, consider contributing here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Free_software_companies

In Wikipedia, "Categories" are lists of articles that contain a certain
tag.  To add articles to the "Free_software_companies" Category, add this
tag:

  [[Category:Free software companies]]

to the bottom of an article on a company that fits the definition.

That article also has a discussion page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_talk:Free_software_companies

...which can be used to discuss which articles are appropriate and which are
not.  Changing the name of the category is another thing that could be
discussed.


Note that the aim is to make it easier to navigate Wikipedia's free software
related information - this isn't related to GNU Business Network.


Another part of Wikipedia that might be useful, or is a good place to start
as a contributor, is the Free Software portal:
