The Vietnamese Rice Knowledge Bank is a new OA resource by the Vietnamese Ministry of Rural Development and Agriculture. From the August 6 description in Nhan Dan:
... The website offers information and knowledge concerning rice in Vietnam, which are provided by the International Rice Research Institute. It also updates Vietnamese scientists' research results.
The readers get easy access to knowledge of rice varieties, rice processing, nutrition, intensive cultivation and so on.
The website is a result of co-operation between the Vietnam Agricultural Science Institute, the National Agriculture and Fishery Extension Center and some Vietnamese universities with financial and technical assistant from the International Rice Research Institute and the Asian Development Bank.

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.
