2008-03-13 Usenix Good News

Today was a bad day for me but today has been slightly improved by the excellent announce of the USENIX organization to open up their conference proceedings to everyone.

This is an excellent news. Of course, this is including a small subset of the USENIX publication and this is not including other publication like ";login:" but this already a good step to a real open access approach. I hope that will trigger the other big players in the scientific public area like ACM or IEEE.

I'm (again) dreaming of reading publication without paying a fee and without limitation.
