Bruce Perens is editing a new series of open-source books on open-source software for Prentice Hall. The text of each book will be published under open-sources licenses, allowing not only free access, downloading, copying, and redistribution, but also modification. Each book will be available free online and in a priced, printed edition. Perens is now looking for authors. Congratulations to Prentice-Hall for its willingness to support this method of publication.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
