At the Centre for E-Government, Danube University Krems (we hosted the EDem08, remember us?) we have a couple of ideas we would let to get started on- the first one is to establish an online open access journal alongside the yearly EDem conference. It will address theoretical and applied topics from e-democracy to e-government. ...
The e-journal is asking for your participation as a joint international partner organization or your personal board membership including peer reviewing responsibilities. ...

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.
