[BOAI] Happy birthday to the Budapest Open Access Initiative

[Iryna Kuchma]

Today is the 13th anniversary of the original Budapest Open Access
Initiative (BOAI) public statement
http://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/read and the 3d anniversary of
its 10th anniversary update Ten years on from the Budapest Open Access
Initiative: setting the default to open
http://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/boai-10-recommendations.

Peter Suber <https://plus.google.com/u/1/109377556796183035206> writes in
his Happy birthday to the Budapest Open Access Initiative post:

"As we put it in the 10th anniversary statement, the BOAI "didn't invent
the idea of OA. On the contrary, it deliberately drew together existing
projects to explore how they might 'work together to achieve broader,
deeper, and faster success.' But the BOAI was the first initiative to use
the term 'open access' for this purpose, the first to articulate a public
definition, the first to propose complementary strategies for realizing OA,
the first to generalize the call for OA to all disciplines and countries,
and the first to be accompanied by significant funding."

*Happy Valentines Day* to all who are working for OA worldwide!"
