The co-founders of PLoS --Harold Varmus, Pat Brown, and Mike Eisen-- are among the winners of the World Technology Network's 2005 World Technology Summit & Awards. Several of the other winners are working on OA-related projects, such as Yochai Benkler, Lawrence Lessig, James Love, Arti Rai, and Jimmy Wales. Congratulations to all the winners.

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.
