[FOSsil-bank] [FC-discuss] FOSsil Bank Update (31 August 2013)

Mon Sep 2 00:44:05 UTC 2013

Hey Sage,

Good question!

Each time I put together the update, I check the #FundFreeCulture hashtag -
so if you tweet using that tag, I should pick it up.

You could also email me directly, and I'll make sure to retweet and include
it in the update.

Finally, if it's a Creative Commons licensed Kickstarter project, get in
touch with Creative Commons (ATTN Elliot) and they'll put it up on their
page.

Cheers,
Chris
