Today is the first anniversary of the Budapest Open Access Initiative. To mark the occasion, it launched a new discussion list, the BOAI-Forum, which I'll moderate. I've put a copy of the first message in the FOS Forum. If you'd like to subscribe, first sign the BOAI. If you haven't signed before, then you can check a box on the signature page to subscribe to the Forum. If you've already signed the BOAI, then you can subscribe (and unsubscribe) through our web-based form.

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.
