Libre Culture
What is libre culture?
Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.
Some beliefs include but aren't limited to:
- That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
- That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
- That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
- That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
- That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

Rules
I've looked into the ways other forums handle rules, and I've distilled their policies down into two simple ideas.
-
Please show common courtesy: Let's make this community one that people want to be a part of.
-
Please keep posts generally on topic
-
No NSFW content
-
When sharing a Libre project, please include the name of its license in the title. For example: “Project name and summary (GPL-3.0)”
Libre culture is a very very broad topic, and while it's perfectly okay for a conversation to stray, I do ask that we keep things generally on topic.

I've became interested in gamejams for the last couple of days, so I should definitely try to participate in this one :)
This will be my first jam, and I've never completely finished a project, let alone in a limited amount of time. I'm already nervous if I'm gonna be able to organize myself.
Any tips for jam newbies like me?
First of, its not really about finishing a complete game. a small working prototype of a game idea is more what most gamejams are targetted at.
I usually try to make a list of things i need to do to get my game done and then make a plan in which order i will tackle them. That helps me to be a bit more organized and get at least something done.
Joining the Chat and talking to the other jamers is also a great way to stay motivated/focused. :)
Thank you! This actually helps me quite a bit. Definitetly will be join IRC and the mailing list to talk more about it
