Once upon a time, FSF, Mozilla, and OpenGameArt and Creative Commons, actually raised funds for a two-part project:Liberated Pixel Cup. https://lpc.opengameart.org/ I thought the discourse and organization around it was quite nice. Perhaps an annual event of the sort would be quite motivating for aspiring coders, and some not so aspiring, especially with cash prizes and shared assets, just a humble opinion. -- Sebastian Silva

I wish everyone was of your opinion, but I've been hearing otherwise from the majority of people I talked with; geography, environment, economy, and other factors might play a role in which groups are louder and/or larger. It would be important to understand who they are, their positions, and what might prevent their games from being free software. _______________________________________________ Discusion mailing list Discusion@fsfla.org <mailto:Discusion@fsfla.org> http://www.fsfla.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discusion <http://www.fsfla.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discusion>
