Charles W. Bailey, Jr., The View from the IR Trenches, Part 1 and Part 2, DigitalKoan, May 3-4, 2005. Charles goes through the journal literature on institutional repositories (IRs) and picks out nuggets. This is a very helpful way to catch up on a lot of valuable literature.
Update. Charles has since added Part 3 and Part 4.

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.
