The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill recently held a two-day convocation on Scholarly Communications in a Digital World (January 27-28, 2005), touching at least briefly on OA. The nine white papers are online for all to read, and at least two faculty members (Jeff Pomerantz and Paul Jones) have blogged their responses.

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.
