12 startup founders discuss working on Christmas Day

Well, it would seem a trifle rude to not begin proceedings with a warm Merry Christmas. But I must askwhat the hell are you doing reading this when you should be playing your new Nintendo 3DS, or guzzling that tenth mince pie of the day?

In 2008, Scotnom Ltd, a private company, was established to help campaign for and operate a dotSCOT top level domain for Scotland, thus the not-for-profit dotSCOT was born.
