Michelle Delio, Copyright Doesn't Cover This Site, Wired News, December 16, 2003. On The Pool, "a collaborative online environment for creating and sharing images, music, videos, programming code and texts" at the University of Maine's Still Water new media lab. Quoting Joline Blais, co-director of the lab: "We are training revolutionaries -- not by indoctrinating them with dogma but by exposing them to a process in which sharing culture rather than hoarding it is the norm." (Thanks to Gary Price.)

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.
