Dear Karl and Sage (and others) Thanks a lot for the kind words!
The short answer is that there isn't a mailing list exclusively for FOSsil Bank updates—yet. I've approached the OKFN-AU about getting a mailing list with them (they have an open invitation to related organisations), but if I don't hear back from them I'll definitely get in touch with QuestionCopyright.org In the meantime, if you have a web feed reader you can use the Living Libre blog's RSS feed <http://livinglibre1.wordpress.com/feed/>. It's not exclusively FOSsil Bank updates, but it's pretty close. Cheers, *Chris Sakkas **Admin of the FOSsil Bank wiki <http://fossilbank.wikidot.com/> and the Living Libre blog <http://www.livinglibre.com> and Twitter feed<https://twitter.com/#%21/living_libre> .* On 23 October 2012 02:54, Karl Fogel <[email protected]> wrote: > Once again, these are amazing.
