Sherwood Anderson Foundation

The Sherwood Anderson Foundation is an organization founded by the children and grandchildren of American short story writer and novelist Sherwood Anderson that gives grants to emerging writers.[1] The most notable of these is the annual Sherwood Anderson Foundation Writers Award.

gollark: PotatOS has a semi-independent VFS/sandbox library, but I had to add a *lot* of patches for sandbox escapes and stuff to PotatoBIOS, so it's hard to use it separately.
gollark: Unless it doesn't.
gollark: Anyway, many of the bugs in potatOS come from stuff like the SPUDNET daemon not being subject to sandboxing, so people can fake events and stuff going to that in increasingly convoluted ways to make it execute code when it shouldn't.
gollark: It was used to provide sandboxed copies of potatOS for testing and stuff.
gollark: Or crane, my really, *really* broken sandboxingish thing.
