Obama Administration Considers More Public Access To Publicly Funded Research
,----[ Quote ]
| The good news is that it looks like the Obama
| administration is looking to go in the other
| direction. The EFF points us to the news that
| the Office of Science and Technology Policy
| (OSTP) is looking at ways to have this
| requirement go beyond just NIH and require
| public access for all federally funded
| research, including from organizations like
| the National Science Foundation (NSF). OSTP is
| asking for comments and input on the idea --
| and it's an idea that makes a ton of sense. It
| seems likely that journal publishers will
| protest, but hopefully common sense will
| prevail and federally funded research will
| become open, accessible and available to
| everyone.

,----[ Quote ]
| The committee's website also lists "William Gates" for a
| $50,000 donation, although it's not clear [i]f that's the
| Microsoft co-founder or his father, who are often confused
| in elections filings. Melinda Gates is listed separately
| for another $50,000 donation, as is Ballmer's wife, Connie.
| That's $200,000 total from the Gates and Ballmer families,
| for anyone keeping track.
