Dear all,

Today we would like to draw your attention to the upcoming PKP

just about one month from now.

The Third International PKP Scholarly Publishing Conference will 
be held from September 26 - 28, 2011 at Freie Universitaet 
Berlin, Germany, organized by the Public Knowledge Project, in 
partnership with Freie Universitaet Berlin and Simon Fraser

Please note that registration will close September 19, 2011.

The PKP Scholarly Publishing Conference 2011 will be a place 
where stakeholders from the publishing community from all over 
the world will gather to discuss the potentials and challenges of 
alternative publishing models and free access to scientific 
knowledge. The conference will present innovations in technology 
developments and activities from open access initiatives from 
various countries and scientific disciplines. In addition, 
workshops provide the opportunity to learn about current 
developments in online publishing in a first hand and practical 
manner.

Participants coming from more than 30 countries from around the 
word have registered already - making this years conference a 
truly international gathering.

We are looking forward to spending three days with you in Berlin 
packed with talks, plenary sessions, workshops and a hackfest, 
and of course lively discussions among the participants.
