Hi Ginny
It is sad that Force 11 are so uninterested in publishers or even others (such as some from Crossref) coming to this meeting that they choose the key dates of the Frankfurt Book Fair for Force 2019
Is this deliberate or just incompetent?

Hi, this is likely coming to you via several listserv postings; apologies for duplication.
The FORCE2019 meeting, taking place in Edinburgh this October 15-17, has announced their first two keynote speakers:
Rachel Bruce is Head of Open Science at UK Research and Innovation (UKRI); and Arfon Smith is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Open Source Software and Head of the Data Science Mission Office at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore.
They’ll address themes in infrastructure and promoting open research
If you’ve never been to FORCE before, it’s a unique and collaborative meeting. It brings together multiple communities to discuss improving the ways scholarly and scientific information is communicated, shared and used.
"I can't think of a better conference for meeting smart people focused on designing and building the future of scholarly infrastructure – that's why FORCE is so special." – Arfon Smith
Some links here for extra info:
The full program will be announced later in the year with themes including: who are the trailblazers; promoting open research; infrastructure for research comms; and what skills do we need for transforming the scholarly community.
Come along and you’ll likely meet some new collaborators!
Best wishes,
Ginny Hendricks
(on behalf of the FORCE2019 team)
