101 (Cyber) Goans Honours List

Earlier this year, Frederick Noronha, an independent journalist based in Goa, compiled and released a list of 101 "cybergoans" to acknowledge the contributions by people of Goan origin, regardless of where they are located, and in what field they work. The list is largely based on information emerging in cyberspace.

Undoubtedly, I believe it's a great effort by FN (as he's known in cyberspace). The list throws up quite a lot of interesting tidbits about the successes of Goans around the world.

Of course, FN himself admits that the list is a subjective view, and certainly not the last word on the subject. "But we do need to start recognising the contribution of people from this small region... where ever they are located, and in whichever field," adds FN.
