<div><br></div>Dear friends,
<div><br></div>
<div>Some colleagues here in Romania asked me to put together a very brief
evolution path to the moment when „Open Access” came to being.</div>
<div>I came up with this design in a very short notice - <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/84345232@N00/7024908289/" target="_blank">http://www.flickr.com/photos/84345232@N00/7024908289/</a>
. I have taken another look at the timeline (<a href="http://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Timeline" target="_blank">http://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Timeline</a>),
but I had to look from 10.000 feet.</div>
<div>This is what came to be. Although the milestones explanations are in
Romanian, all should be pretty self explanatory?!</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Is there any other big, big, big moment in time that slipped my eye?<br clear="all"><br></div></div></div></blockquote></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div>If you are going back as far as 1969 then I think many people would see the Free/Open software movement (Stallman, 1986) as creating much of the background practice and philosophy that went into "Open Access". <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software</a>. <br>
