[BOAI] Peter Suber Appointed Berkman Fellow at Harvard

[Stevan Harnad]

Peter Suber, the de facto leader of the Open Access
movement<http://poynder.blogspot.com/2007/10/basement-interviews-peter-suber.html>has
been appointed a Fellow
of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard
University<http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/newsroom/Suber_Sandvig>
 .
A brilliant choice, and eminently well-deserved. Peter -- whose historic
contributions to the growth of OA have been spectacularly successful -- will
continue his invaluable OA work, but this Fellowship will also make it
possible for him to begin writing the books on OA and related matters that
are welling up in him, and that the world scholarly and scientific research
community (as well as the historians of knowledge) are eagerly waiting to
read, digest and learn from for years to come.

It is so gratifying to see true merit being rewarded occasionally, as it
ought to be (although my guess is that this is just the beginning of the
honors to be accorded to this selfless and sapient transformer of Gutenberg
scholarship into PostGutenberg scholarship).

With much gratitude and admiration,

Stevan Harnad
