Roberto Meneghini of BIREME has called for OA to Brazilian research. Read the Portuguese original in the Jornal da Ciênca or Google's English. (Thanks to Donat Agosti.)
PS: Just last week BIREME required the journals indexed in LILACS or SciELO, and publishing articles on clinical drug trials, to require OA to the underlying trial data.

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.
