Greetings all,
One of my friends brought this new open access journal to my attention this morning. Apparently, it is just starting up now and looking for an initial call for papers.
It's interesting to know that Elsevier think it's worth "taking a punt" on something like this, even though they publish books and journals on anything and everything. It may help to get attention from a wider audience.
which begs the question (bringing things back to a positive note) - so thank you to mike for raising this so that the idea can come about: why the heck don't we set up some sort of journal / conference at some point? or find a suitable existing conference and ask them if they'd like to run a track. fosdem2016 or something. fosdem's big enough (but might also be too big already).
There's a mini-Debconf at ARM in Cambridge in November ...
oo that'd be fun. bit early. i was thinking more along the lines of after people have their pledges, so they have some opportunity to play with them.
Elzevier - avoid at all costs if you value freedom in any respect. Various scientific folks have begun to boycott them and publish in house or independent peer-reviewed publication.
iiinteresting...
FOSDEM might well be an option.
it's around the right time - i may still be in the far east though.
