Free Culture Gaming - 1st game night Saturday 8pm EDT

Writes Nelson Pavlosky on our blog:

Some folks from [Free Culture at Virginia Tech][1] came up with and,
more impressively, actually started a [Free Culture Gaming][2] club!
Every week Free Culture Gaming will get together to play free games
online with other free culture aficionados. All of the games we play
will be 100% free software and free content, as per our [standards][3].

When I asked Conley Owens, Free Culture VT founder, why he thought FC
Gaming is important, he responded:

> Because it's FOSS and it's gaming… what could be cooler?

>

> Because gaming drives computing. It's the reason why graphics cards
are so great and cheap, because of gamers. And if gaming can drive
hardware, it can drive software. Right now I have tons of computer
scientist friends who only use Windows because they can't play their
favorite games on GNU/Linux. If free games were more prevalent, perhaps
they would switch. If you get the software development (and game
development) community switching to a free platform, they will in turn
help switch the world to freedom.

> Play free games, free the world!

Hopefully that is enough motivation to join FC Gaming :)
