Comment. This is the most detailed summary I've seen yet of the hearing on the Conyers bill. If you want even more detail than this, you'll have to watch the video of the hearing, which is OA, or pay to read a third-party transcript. I'm hoping that the government will release an OA version of the transcript --and if it does, I'll blog it.

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.
