Hi folks, Please enjoy another FOSsil Bank update. This one is a bit unusual because I've dug up a lot of #FundFreeCulture stuff and relatively few new wiki entries. Helping out the Bank
If you wanted to help out the FOSsil Bank, you could add the remaining books from Open Book Publishers <http://www.openbookpublishers.com/> to the FOSsil Bank. I’ve only done the libre books (*Is Behavioral Economics Dead?*, *Frontier Encounters*, *Oral Literature in Africa* and *The Digital Public Domain*) but it would be useful to have the others as well. If you’d like to help out with that, there’s a tutorial<http://fossilbank.wikidot.com/tutorial>and you can see the current list of Open Book Publishers <http://fossilbank.wikidot.com/source:open-book-publishers>entries on the wiki. #FundFreeCulture: New and Ongoing - Take On Magic Items<http://www.bradsucks.net/albums/guess-whos-a-mess/>($2.50; CC BY) - Brad Sucks, ‘Guess Who’s a Mess’<http://www.bradsucks.net/albums/guess-whos-a-mess/>(name your price; CC BY-SA) - Japanese RPG Monster RPG 2<http://www.indiegogo.com/monster-rpg-2-open-jrpg-game-engine>is being ransomed on IndieGoGo, although as far as I can tell only the engine will be libre licensed and not the assets ($705/$1,500; 16 days left; Give It Your Own License, License) - Bejewelled-style TumbleGonk <http://www.indiegogo.com/tumblegonk> is being ransomed on IndieGoGo, and the assets will also be licensed.
