We’re pleased to announce the launch of the Liberated Pixel Cup , a free-as-in-freedom game authoring competition being launched in cooperation between Creative Commons , the Free Software Foundation , and OpenGameArt ! Liberated Pixel Cup example outdoor artwork / Lanea Zimmerman / CC BY-SA 3.0 Liberated Pixel Cup is a two-part competition: make a bunch of awesome free culture licensed artwork, and program a bunch of free software games that use it. Hopefully many cool projects can come out of this… but that will only happen if people like you get involved! Technically the project will run in three phases. One of the major goals of the project is for the community to be able to produce content that’s stylistically consistent.
Three years ago, Joseph Sneddon and I were put in touch through mutual friends at a Psychology conference in Australia. We both have extensive backgrounds in Computer Science and Psychology, and were intrigued at the emergence of online communities over the past decade. Shortly thereafter, we embarked on an international post-graduate collaborative experiment that set out to investigate tribal behaviour in online communities. A collaboration was formed between our two Universities, The University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand, and the University of Lincoln in the United Kingdom. We spent several weeks attempting to figure out how to collect information in a way that wouldn’t hamper the results, and eventually we started OMG! Ubuntu!

Earlier this week I provided Intel Core i7 3770K Linux benchmarks for the Ivy Bridge launch-day followed by initial Ivy Bridge Linux HD 4000 graphics benchmarks compared to the Intel HD 2000/3000 Sandy Bridge graphics under Linux and to AMD Fusion on Catalyst and Gallium3D. In this article are more benchmarks of the HD 4000 Ivy Bridge graphics under Linux with Intel's open-source driver, but in this article it is a much larger comparison. This is a full showdown of the Core i7 3770K graphics compared to several discrete NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics cards when they're using their respective open-source Gallium3D drivers. What graphics hardware is best if you want to use an open-source GPU driver? Find out now.
