[Open-access] FOSsil Bank Update (30 March 2013)

Sat Mar 30 04:45:11 UTC 2013

Hi folks,

 It's been a month and a half since the last update, which leaves us with a
lot of works to get through – so I've decided to split this update into two
(I'll send the second out next week).

 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.
*#FundFreeCulture*

 The OpenShot Video
Editor<http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/421164014/openshot-video-editor-for-windows-mac-and-linux>is
being ported over from Linux to Mac and Windows. ($18,959 of $20,000;
18
days remain)

Kickstart an open source Death
Star.<http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/461687407/kickstarter-open-source-death-star>(
£327,000 of £20,000,000; 50 hours remain)

Save the Public Domain Review!
<http://publicdomainreview.org/support/>($12,729 of $20,000; 31 days
to go)

Unfortunately, I missed the deadline for The Foundation for an Open Source
City <http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/open-source-all-the-cities> ($4,023
of $3,000)

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.
