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:

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
This clashes with Ludum Dare right? Seems like a bit of an oversight, even if it's longer.
Its only 4 days(out of 14) as it seems. Also the goals/general themes of the two jams are pretty different. Also with the amount of gamejams currently its pretty hard not to clash with any other jam.
Ludum Dare has a 21 day category this time.
