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

                      Third call for papers
         21st Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming
                           tfp2020.org
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Did you miss the deadline to submit a paper to Trends in Functional
Programming
http://cse.chalmers.se/~rjmh/tfp/? No worries -- it's not too late!
Submission is open until January 10th 2020, for a presentation slot at
the event
and post-symposium reviewing.

The symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an international
forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional
programming,
taking a broad view of current and future trends in the area. It aspires
to be
a lively environment for presenting the latest research results, and other
contributions.

* TFP is moving to new winter dates, to provide an FP forum in between the
   annual ICFP events.

* TFP offers a supportive reviewing process designed to help less
experienced
   authors succeed, with two rounds of review, both before and after the
   symposium itself. Authors have an opportunity to address reviewers'
concerns
   before final decisions on publication in the proceedings.

* TFP offers two "best paper" awards, the John McCarthy award for best
paper,
   and the David Turner award for best student paper.

* This year we are particularly excited to co-locate with Lambda Days in
   beautiful Krakow. Lambda Days is a vibrant developer conference with
hundreds
   of attendees and a lively programme of talks on functional
programming in
   practice. TFP will be held in the same venue, and participants will
be able
   to session-hop between the two events.
