Any brilliant ideas for stimulating cultural change and encouraging more open science?

Open science was a pretty big topic of conversation at SciFoo. As I wrote on my blog, I think it’s going to take some pretty big cultural changes before open science becomes mainstream. What can individual scientists do to stimulate some of that change? Any ideas?

I would have to agree with Anonymous in that after writing a bad review, such as one where one did not have time or interest to go through the article carefully enough, it surely would be more comfortable if the reviewee would not know the reviewer’s identity. ;)
But, as we’re probably speaking about critical reviews – and at least I would be delighted to know who wrote those comments, so that should I have the chance to meet IRL or otherwise, I could actually continue the communication over the problematic issues!
Truth is, though, that sometimes we do write subpar reviews. Which, of course, is a bad social engineering strategy.
