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.

The third installment of FediJam, a foss gamejam for federated people. We are trying out different format, so now it is the whole week, from Sunday Oct 17 18:00 to Sunday Oct 24 23:59 UTC.
Note: A gamejam is a kind of hackathon where we try to make games on a theme announced at the jam start in a limited time (in this case, a week). Submitted games are rated and then we have a winner. That is, if we have more than one submission. Come jam with us and submit yours ^v^ !

No gamedev (and little time) but the description on the Jam page "Data-vampires and wall-mounted eyes? [..]" gave me an idea for someone to pick up:

Reach the Activity Pub

Your significant other doesn't want you to go to the Pub, the only lively place in the center of town. Though a place full of activity, the booze flows richly here and attractive town folk engage in rowdy dances. As it happens your partner is extremely jealous of you visiting the place, especially if they have to work. And they happen to work in a surveillance center that operates all the town's CCTV and doorbell camera's.

Can you navigate the windy roads and alleys and avoid the prying wall-mounted eyes swiveling back and forth, and reach the Pub? More importantly: Can you get back home unnoticed after your visit, when the alcohol coursing through your veins have twisted reality and strange things always happen?

Implementation

Not knowing if this is possible the game transforms real OpenStreetMap tilesets into the gameplay area, and the existing overlay of CCTV locations and Camera types. This aspect making it realistic and educational as well, while still fun. There are difficulty levels: Nightmare mode --> Can you navigate the heart of London?

If you like the idea we can brainstorm some more below, and list OSS projects and codes that may be used for implementation.

Update: I tooted about this here https://mastodon.social/@humanetech/107104136403882365
