The OpenAccess Button Thunderclap ( https://www.thunderclap.it/en/projects/5675-open-access-button-launch ) will happen in about 5 hours from now. This comes from two students Joe and David who are angry that paywalls still exist. The Thunderclap will push 800,000+ tweets onto the web expressing their frustration.
I've hacked with Joe and David in Bethnal Green. They are the generation that matter. I've blogged this http://blogs.ch.cam.ac.uk/pmr/2013/11/17/oa-thunderclap-students-are-rightly-angry-with-all-of-us/ If you are on Twitter, and especially if you have followers, you can support this by following the simple instructions on their page -- Peter Murray-Rust Reader in Molecular Informatics Unilever Centre, Dep.
