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.
