Hindawi has launched three new OA journals and converted a fourth from TA to OA. From the announcement:
Hindawi Publishing Corporation is pleased to add the following four titles to its open access journal collection:
Advances in Tribology
International Journal of Microwave Science and Technology
International Journal of Vehicular Technology
HPB Surgery
The first three titles are new journals launched under the open access publication model. The fourth title, HPB Surgery, was published for 11 years as a subscription-based journal before being converted to open access. "Open access publishing is an exciting new development and one in which I would like to be involved" stated Robin Williamson, the journal's Editor-in-Chief. All articles shall be distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
Hindawi continues to aggressively develop its open access journal collection covering all major areas of science, technology, and medicine.

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.
