Science Commons is all about freeing the scientific ideas that will change our future. I think the biggest change is the freeing of the science, not even what they will find (though that will be important, too!).
From the site: The mission of Science Commons is to encourage scientific innovation by making it easier for scientists, universities, and industries to use literature, data, and other scientific intellectual property and to share their knowledge with others. Science Commons works within current copyright and patent law to promote legal and technical mechanisms that remove barriers to sharing."
Have at it, scientists!
Free the Sounds
Interested in music in the public domain? There is a lot out there, including Archive.org, Opsound and etree.org. There is also a new project for online collaboration of music, sounds, loops and samples in the public domain called Free the Sounds. If you are a musician and want to share and collaborate, this might be a good place for you to get moving!
Are you a world traveler? Ever wanted to stay on a hostel sailboat? It's not free, but it is darn close! Hostel Happy has a sailboat for hosteling adventures in the Caribbean and Mediterranean... as close to free as you can get for this type of styling world travel adventure!
