I understand that it might not be possible to put this years' proceedings online for free (for whatever copyright etc complications).. but i think it is an issue to consider and make mandotary in the future ?
jhuns@vt.edu:
but free and open distribution must be the decision of the individual not an obligation put on them because they participate in an organization or attend a conference.
I don't think this is an overly difficult problem to solve. For the AoIR Toronto conference, could the registration form include a checkbox? It could look something like this: Following the conference, please make my paper available to: _ any visitor to the conference Web site _ any registered AoIR member visiting the conference Web site _ noone cheers Bram
