As always, let me know if there are other resources I can list on the FOSsil Bank—or you can add them to the wiki itself!

I'll publish it in the next couple of days, but I thought I should give you a chance to look over it before I do so: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sanglorian/sandbox Feel free to make any edits you like to the article itself, or leave a comment on the talk page and I'll incorporate it.

Quite a few entries this time. If you missed it earlier, there is an RSS feed of new pages on the wiki. You can get it here.&lt;http://www.feedrinse.com/services/rinse/?rinsedurl=dbefeb94b675595652981093a42324c9&gt;There's no way to separate new libre entries from new proprietary entries, unfortunately Wikidot doesn't give us that option. The FOSsil Bank is a wiki that catalogues libre and proprietary shareable works (free culture, Creative Commons, open content, open source, free software, open knowledge, open hardware, etc.). This week, several entries have been added to the wiki: New Entries on FOSsil Bank Libre - Old Book Art, &lt;http://fossilbank.wikidot.com/source:old-book-art&gt; a site that collects scanned images.

The ruling, delivered on Friday, looks mostly like a victory for the university, finding that only five of 99 alleged copyright infringements did in fact violate the plaintiffs' copyrights.

Let me know if this bothers you. The FOSsil Bank is a wiki that catalogues libre and proprietary shareable works (free culture, Creative Commons, open content, open source, free software, open knowledge, open hardware, etc.).

Patrick: regarding Stallman, that's exactly why I work on http://unhosted.org - whereas many free software people hate on Javascript, it's actually the solution for free software on the web because it all runs on your own computer. Hosted "free software" on the other hand still gives more power to servers - we have to unhost web apps so the power &amp; logic is at the client, and servers are only used as stupid, encrypted commodity storage. Google can not be compared to Github because on Github we don't have any personal data - everything is open (except the Issues) and accessible through an open protocol, git. In addition to not covering any costs, we also don't need to do the work that is maintaining a git server.

If these are inappropriate for this mailing list, let me know and I'll stop making them. I've also made this update on my blog,&lt;https://livinglibre1.wordpress.com/2012/05/05/fossil-bank-update-for-5-may/&gt;and have committed to doing it every week (so there'll be new content on my blog every week - I promise!)

I might be biased, but I think it's a great little resource. But I'm also not sure what to do with it. I'm basically the only person who contributes to it, and it's gotten to the size where I've added all the libre content that I (so far) know or care about it. What I'm wondering is whether you have any ideas of where we could take it from here: how to raise its profile, how to build up a community around it, and so on.

Joo provides a comprehensive and convincing critique of free culture scholarship. First, many of the factual claims made by free culture advocates are incorrect. This is important.

Yet, as Joo demonstrates, many free culture arguments *lack *such empirical evidence.

Hello from Sunny Berkeley! I'm super excited to hang out with everyone. As a reminder, students attending Innovate/Activate are invited to attend a pre-conference lunch organized by boalt.org and Students for Free Culture. The lunch will take place in Boalt Hall's Goldberg Room at noon today (in just over an hour). It might be cutting a it a bit close to RSVP, but the address is anaenriquez[at]berkeley.edu. Innovate/Activate gets started with a Keynote by Alexis Ohanian at 2pm on 2nd floor of Sutardja Dai Hall. Registration starts at 1pm. We're hoping to have some students around to help out with odds and ends (running the live stream, etc), so arriving early and volunteering to lend a hand would be much appreciated. I'll be wearing a white free culture shirt with a colorful copyleft sign on it. Say hi! And our summit is Sunday! We'll send out the start time as it gets closer.
