[Open-access] FOSsil Bank Update (13 April 2013)

Sat Apr 13 01:58:33 UTC 2013

Hi folks,

This is the second half of the monster update from two weeks ago, as well
as some new content added over the fortnight.

As always, if you know of works under public copyright licences (and,
particularly, under free/libre/open licences) you can add them to the wiki
yourself or email me and I’ll add them. The same is also true for
free/libre/open projects that are available for sale or are in the process
of being crowdfunded, which I tweet about using the hashtag
#FundFreeCulture.
#FundFreeCultureGeary

suggested by the backers. ($295 of $4,300; 18 days to go)

$20,000;
4 days remain)

Justin, the creator of a free culture boardgame called To the Barricades,
is asking for support to help him take art
classes<http://blackflaggames.org/free-culture-patronage/>– and will
create art in exchange. (free culture or free software licences
of your choosing)

The Free Software Foundation is still running a membership
drive.<http://www.reddit.com/r/freeculture/comments/14uvro/the_free_software_foundation_needs_your_support/>They
made their $350,000 goal, but are still looking for about a hundred
new members.

It may surprise you to learn that the open source Death
Star<http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/461687407/kickstarter-open-source-death-star>project
did not raise its £20,000,000 goal.
