Vedran Vucic is a Linux afficionado in Serbia. He and his organization have gone all around Serbia, wired up the schools, taught the teachers and students how to use Linux, taught the teachers and students how to use various online educational resources ranging from blogs to ATutor, etc.
Vedran also gives technical support to about 40 Serbian bloggers whose work he also aggregates.
He is now putting a lot of energy into persuading scientists, especially the young, not-yet-entrenched ones, to go online and to promote Open Access. It is an uphill battle, but he is persistent!
You'll see that he has PLoS as his top link on both of his websites.
Scientists in the developing world are going to be among the biggest beneficiaries of Open Access in the future and I am looking forward to working with Open Access promoters in various countries around the world. With Vedran and Danica, I already have a head-start with Serbia. Where are the others? E-mail me!
