I just read about this interesting initiative on Slashdot, with the summary:

"Prominent Computer Science researchers from Google, Microsoft and UC Berkeley are starting to sign the 'Research Without Walls' pledge, promising to never be involved in peer review for a venue that does not make publications available to the public for free."

I'm probably going to sign this pledge myself, but I thought it'd be interesting to have a discussion about it before I do so. What are people's thoughts on open access publishing?
