Walt Crawford wants to edit and publish a series of open-access conference reports. Starting in January 2005, he'll publish signed, first-person accounts of "discussions and programs that relate to the broad foci of [Crawford's newsletter,] Cites & Insights: The intersections of libraries, policy, technology and media --and the people they serve." All the pieces in this series will be issued under Creative commons licenses. For more details see the December issue of Cites & Insights (pp. 1-3). Since conferences about OA fall within his ambit, consider sending him your narratives.

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.
