My 7 y.o. daughter made a container for me. It is a small sample sized plastic coffee can with a, well my guitar pick taped to the top, and a swirly painted construction paper cicle glued to the bottom. She also gave me a digital watch with a bungee cord band.
...serves time, and is released back into the community. That person has traditionally had a "clean-slate".
Not true in the USA, the "clean-slate" part: I believe that released felons are denied the right to own firearms, the right to vote, among other rights.
I've been running a simular thought through my head. I want to start a music project, and run it the way a free software project would be run. Lots of musicians collaborating. Some a lot, some a little. Some providing samples. Some doing arrangements. Some folks doing artwork & promotion. Maybe distributing through mp3.com? I already have my music on mp3.com and it's a pretty fair deal, it seems.

(How bad is it to reply to your own post?) To clarify: Only in some states in the USA, freed felons cannot vote for the rest of their lives.

You mean something like lists of the most popular music, divided into genres? Even as specific as "Ambient Drum N' Bass" or "Hardcore Punk Music "? If only someone could do that...
(Seriously, maybe my music is random cruft on MP3.COM, but it's not too hard to find popular stuff. Also, many artist have "artist we like" links.)
Player 1: "I can code that in 50 lines."
Player 2: "I can code that in 20 lines."
Player 1: "I can code that in 10 lines."
Player 2: "I can code that in 2 lines."
Player 1: "Hmmm. Code that program."
Player 1: (Aside) "Wait-- did you mean in Perl, or RPG?"
(Yes, I replied to myself)
So how does someone get a free software project rolling? How do you get the word out?
