The Netsqured Mashup Project Challenge will award cash prizes for ideas for data mashups for social change. Deadline to submit ideas is March 14. They've got $100,000, to be divided among 20 projects. They'll also help connect projects with the help necessary to bring the idea to life. (Thanks to Science Commons.)

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.
