Nycil George writes in yesterday's issue of TechTree that Hewlett-Packard has helped Jadavpur University launch a DSpace repository. According to Ajay Gupta, Director of HP Labs India, HP "is keen to take the [DSpace] digital library solution to other premier educational institutions across India." (Of course, HP is MIT's partner in developing DSpace.)
(PS: This is very good news. Indian friends of OA should make sure their institutions are on HP's list and then work with their institutions to develop effective policies to fill the repositories.)

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.
