short newsies

CASH Music, the CC license using music label/creative community CC has discussed numerous times before, just launched a wonderful new Creative Commons Portal for understanding how CC licenses can be utilized by record labels and artists.

Bandcamp, a feature-heavy music site that focuses on providing musicians with robust, easy-to-use, and visually pleasing artist pages, just integrated CC licensing options in to their UI.

Foodista is a new online destination for those interested in all things culinary-related. The site is divided into four sections - recipes, foods, tools and techniques - and is based around the idea that community knowledge and sharing can result in a better resource than one built by a restricted and closed group. As such, the folks behind Foodista have “developed a system to let everyone edit content to make it better rather than have multiple versions of the same recipe.” At its core, this system is based around a site-wide CC BY license.

Applejux from netaudio.es has put some Spanish netlabels on Google maps: if you have a netlabel, you can always contribute, and put yourself on the map.

The people from archive.org have made a compilation of "How to ..." movies. "How to Make a Political T-Shirt" and "How to Brew Beer" are my favorites.

cheers!

Ecofont

A dutch company has developed a font, special for ecofriendly printing: the Ecofont.
The font looks like Emmenthal cheese, or like a lettertype that's been used in a Sergio Leone movie.

"Appealing ideas are often simple: how much of a letter can be removed while maintaining readability? After extensive testing with all kinds of shapes, the best results were achieved using small circles. After lots of late hours (and coffee) this resulted in a font that uses up to 20% less ink. Free to download, free to use."

The Ecofont is distributed under GPL and based upon Bitstream Vera.
