Comment. The first and third already have OA mandates (blogged here and here). I'm hoping we'll soon see mandates from the U of Patras and the Hungarian Scientific Research Fund. The U of Patras seems to be a good bet; see our past posts on its OA activity. And it's fairly rare for a funding agency to sign the Declaration without plans to adopt a local policy to carry it out.

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.
