Dear Colleagues,

The early booking rate of £295 has been extended until 11 June 2012 with a
full-price rate of £350 thereafter. There is also a day rate of £115.
We are also please to announce that Dr Cameron Neylon, recently appointed
Director of Advocacy at the Public Library of Science (PLoS) will provide the
opening keynote for OR2012. Cameron is well known in the scientific community,
recognized for his professionalism, experience, vision and influence in
scholarly publishing, communication, and research. His attendance at the
Budapest Open Access Initiative meeting, advisory role for the Scholarly
Communication in Africa Program, and leadership of the Open Society Foundation
funded Beyond Impact project are recent examples of his focus on web technology
to enhance research communication. After earning his PhD in Chemistry from
Australian National University, Cameron worked as a Wellcome Trust
International Fellow at the University of Bath; a lecturer in chemical biology
at the University of Southampton; and most recently a senior scientist at the
Science and Technology Facilities Council, UK. He has also served as an
academic editor for PLoS ONE—one of many commitments he will transition prior
to joining PLoS in early July 2012.
An updated version of the programme (http://or2012.ed.ac.uk/programme/)
including User Group Session details will be announced early next week.
Additional information about the conference is provided on the OR2012 website -

We look forward to welcoming you to Edinburgh for OR2012.
Best,
Stuart Macdonald
