Open Education interviewed Lawrence Lessig in its May 1 issue. Here's an excerpt that transfers to the open-access movement: "It just takes telling the story over and over again, until people listen and get it. I don’t find many people who listen to what we have to say, and then afterwards say 'yeah, well, it doesn’t seem to be important'."

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.
