I was fortunate to be able to participate in the Library Publishing
Coalition Preconference on Open Source Publishing Platforms in late
May. There is a tremendous amount of activity taking place in this
area, both in terms of supporting journals and creating platforms for
digital books.

The video and slide decks from this meeting are a wonderful look at the
state of the art. See

I was unable to stay on for the main Forum, but materials from that are
also available and contain additional material that will certainly be
of interest to our community. See

The LPC Blog also contains a number of postings reflecting on the pre
conference and the Forum at
