[Open-access] FOSsil Bank Update (23 June 2013)

Sun Jun 23 02:15:30 UTC 2013

Hi folks,

Here’s another monster FOSsil Bank Update. I’ve split it into two parts,
the second of which I’ll post next week.

As always, please get in touch if you’ve found any libre or shareable
content and I’ll chuck it on the wiki.
#FundFreeCulture

There is just three days left on the Subaqueous: USB Splash Drive and Remix
Album Kickstarter<http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cotec/subaqueous-usb-splash-drive-and-remix-album>.
I’ve listened to some of this music and it’s pretty good – I hope it makes
the $200 it needs for it (stems and finished songs) to go CC BY-SA. (3 days
left; $1,975/$2,222)

The second Future of Copyright Contest has begun raising funds on
IndieGoGo<http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/future-of-copyright-contest-2-0>.

last year. (CC BY-SA; 15 days left; $400/$500)

Assets from an abandoned Blender game project are being ransomed on
IndieGoGo.<http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/free-game-resources-for-blender-3d-and-more?c=home>

a few assets have already been shared. (CC0; 6 days left; $675/$500)

an online game about collecting and selling personal data. (CC BY-SA; 18
days left; $5,951/$50,000)

releasing all of his works as libre to try to make a living off of it.

miniseries about twenty-somethings in a conflicted Midwest town. Unfortunately,
it did not make its goal. (CC BY-SA; $166/$5,000)
