The Ohio State Auditor's office is conducting a seminar for public officials from around the state to learn about their obligation to keep meetings and records open to the public. From an editorial in today's Tribune-Chronicle: "This should be especially useful for elected officials and other government employees who handle public records or conduct public meetings. The gamut of responsibilities are rarely explained adequately to those holding these positions and therefore, through no fault of their own, they hinder our participatory form of government."

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.
