Openflows.org releases today a survey of open content
projects in five non-western regions: Arab countries, Sub-Saharan Africa,
India, Brazil and South East and Eastern Europe. The aim of the study is
to assess the potential of the open content production process for areas
and fields which are under served by the commercial players. While we
cannot claim completeness, we believe that the range of projects allows
insight into the complex ways in which these projects interact with their
particular contexts and the vast differences this creates.
Open content projects are extremely sensitive to local conditions....

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.
