Alma Swan's calendars of OA quotations and original artwork and calligraphy are becoming an annual tradition. Her 2008 Open Access Calendar is now online. This year's calendar also features notable dates from the history of the OA movement. From the description at Key Perspectives:
A 2008 Open Access calendar, created by Alma Swan, is now available on this website. Alma says "I hope you like it and that it will help to inspire you during the next year." We invite you to print and staple it together for your own use. Some people have already asked whether the calendar is going to be professionally printed and made available in bound form. This is feasible if enough people would like this to be done. The maximum cost, including calendar, board-backed envelope and postage would be 11 Euros or 16 US dollars, though it could be less if the print run is large enough. If you are interested in having a printed copy, please contact me at the following address: aswan AT keyperspectives.co.uk. In the meantime, please feel free to download the pdf version here.

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.
