[GOAL] Re: A bit of advice with regards to the history of the OAmovement

Dear Nicolaie

It seems me very difficult to try to sum up in a poster more than 20 years of efforts and technology in Open Access. Inevitably you will forget something or somebody. 

Concerning " big, big, big moments", I have in mind some missing events and names (people and organizations). But it is my own perception of "big, big, moments" .

Just to give you an example extracted from your own selection: the open access periodical Psycholoquy was created by Stevan Harnad at the same time than Surfaces that you mention in your poster (created by Jean-Claude Guédon).

See in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access_journal. You can read : "The first digital-only, free journals (eventually to be called "open access journals") were published on the Internet in the late 1980s.[citation needed] Among them was Bryn Mawr Classical Review, Postmodern Culture, Psycoloquy, and The Public-Access Computer Systems Review."



You will notice that Surfaces doesn't appear in the wikipedia list! Not fair for Jean-Claude, isn’t? And difficult therefore to choose the right periodical that should be mentionned in your poster!



I know that you are very involved in Open access in Romania and I wish you a good luck for all your projects!

  Dear friends,


  Some colleagues here in Romania asked me to put together a very brief evolution path to the moment when „Open Access” came to being.
  I came up with this design in a very short notice - http://www.flickr.com/photos/84345232@N00/7024908289/ . I have taken another look at the timeline (http://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Timeline), but I had to look from 10.000 feet.
  This is what came to be. Although the milestones explanations are in Romanian, all should be pretty self explanatory?!


  Is there any other big, big, big moment in time that slipped my eye?
