Mon Apr 30 19:20:44 UTC 2012

Hi all -

We've just posted the response letter to the OKF Open Archaeology site:
http://archaeology.okfn.org/2012/04/30/the-aia-and-open-access-an-open-letter/

Big thanks to everyone for voicing their thoughts and opinions on this -
please do repost, tweet, and send around to colleagues.

Best wishes,
Jess
