Dear Peter (and list),

If I understand the CFP correctly, the proceedings of TFP will be published
in Springer's LNCS series, which nominally allows authors to retain their
copyright for the work, but require an "Open Choice" price of $38 per page
to do so; for 20-page submissions, this comes at the rather discouraging
price of $760 -- more expensive for me than actually attending TFP.

Are there any plans to make TFP a proper Open Access conference, where
authors can retain the rights to their work without paying for more than
reasonable publication costs?

Best
