Hi folks, I've been away travelling for several weeks, but you know the drill—except that from this week I'm adding the Twitter tag #FundFreeCulture.
As always, let me know of any libre resources that are out there—or add them to the FOSsil Bank yourselves! #FundFreeCulture When I find a libre licensed work up on Kickstarter, IndieGoGo or another crowdfunding tool, I'll tweet about it with the tag #FundFreeCulture. Feel free to do the same!
