Submission + - Tipping Point for Open Access CS Research? (researchwithoutwalls.org)
trombonehero writes: Prominent Computer Science researchers from Google, Microsoft and UC Berkeley are starting to sign the "Research Without Walls" pledge, promising to never be involved in peer review for a venue that does not make publications available to the public for free.
Others have made similar pledges in isolation (see http://www.crypto.com/blog/copywrongs and http://benlog.com/articles/2011/09/05/with-freedom-comes-responsibility-open-publishing); could this be the start of something big?
