Watch for the conference papers and presentations on the new OCS 2 version of the conference web site. --- Open Social Event Thursday, July 12, 2007 SFU Harbour Centre 7:00pm - midnight? We are pleased to confirm that we have been able to book "Tony & the Hegemones" to provide live music and entertainment at the Thursday evening social event at SFU Harbour Centre. Fresh off the conference circuit, the sound of this band has been described as "Gregg Allman meets the Ramones." They are truly a super-group with musicians specially assembled from several semi-pro bands, plus a few very familiar faces. --- Conference Blogs Blogs from the conference blogging team are now available. Blog notes are also available from slaw.ca. --- The conference will provide opportunities for those involved in the organization, promotion, and study of scholarly communication to share and discuss innovative work in scholarly publishing, with a focus on the contribution that open source publishing technologies (such as, but not restricted to, PKP’s OJS, OCS, and OA Harvester) can make to improving access to research and scholarship on a global and public scale. Major keynote and plenary speakers have now been confirmed. John Willinsky, the founder of PKP and the creator of OJS software will provide the opening keynote address. Raym Crow from SPARC will speak on publishing cooperatives and the various forms they might take for nonprofit publishers, including societies, university presses, and universities themselves. We are also pleased to welcome Anurag Acharya, Google Scholar’s founding engineer. Finally, Michael Geist will close the conference with his thoughts on the changes and challenges that lie ahead in the fields of communications, knowledge creation, and intellectual property. |
