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>.

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>

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

it did not make its goal. (CC BY-SA; $166/$5,000)
Wiki Stuff

created. Ones with at least a couple of libre works include:
