So far only 3300 people have signed the petition (385 per day in the last 
week), so it doesn't seem to be taking off in a significant way.

>From the UK's perspective, there have been 159 signatories all told from 27 
>institutions. Having checked the 28 signatories from the most represented 
>institution I can reveal (to almost no-one's surprise) that they are not only 
>"not reviewing", "not publishing" and "not doing editorial work", they are 
>also "not using their IR" (only 5 have ever put anything in their repository).

(Disclaimer: I haven't checked websites, Mendeley, arxiv or other sources of 
OA, and neither have I checked whether all the signatories are PhD students / 
undergraduates or others.)
