EGU 2019
The deadline for session proposals is due today. It would be a great opportunity again to promote preprints. Is there a townhall meeting or something similar suggested already? @danielnust @geoda @christopherjackson1 @tomnarock1

Hi @sgirardclos! I think IAS would be good, given they also have sessions on paper-writing, etc. I won't be going, but I'd be very happy to support the endevour. One of my best friends is now Editor-in-Chief of Sedimentology, so we could perhaps try and get their endorsement too, given they accept preprints. And @friedrich1: thanks for submitting the townhall proposal to EGU. Chris

Hi @christopherjackson3 ! Thank you for the support. You have another friend at Sedimentology -> me ! :laughing: I'm Sedimentology Associate Editor
The new IAS president (D.Ariztegui) is in the office next to mine. I'll talk with him about possibilities, even better than with the Sedimentology staff. He likes the @EarthArXiv initiative and knows all about it.
For the IAS Roma I would like to do something fun.
I'm thinking of a 'Be-your-own-editor bar', i.e. proposing instantenous preprint publication (and free bier-beverage if I get a sponsor) under the motto 'I publish when I wish' (required people bring their .pdf we would announce it beforehand). I would give advice, validate submissions and answer questions.
Of course, I'll have to manage my double hat (editor here and there) but I see this all as a continuum of publication.
Any remarks/ideas from you girls and guys ? What do you think you the idea ? If anyone of you comes to IAS Roma and wishes to help, it would be great.

Hi Stéphanie,
Ah, so you work with Ian Kane then?!
It’s great to hear Daniel is positive towards preprints and EarthArXiv. And I think this is an absolutely fantastic idea, which we could also work into next year’s EGU effort. Maybe even AGU, although I’m personally
not planning on going this year. I’d be happy to offer as much support as you need for the IAS plan.

Cool. I'm happy you like the idea. But I need to develop it a bit more. I'll talk to the cool young ones of my Dept to see if they adhere to the idea or have other ones regarding EarthArXiv. This year at ISC Québec there was a nice Young scientist booth where the young sedimentologists organized mini informal talks during poster sessions that was good, fun and busy.
Yes I work remotely as (not paid - to clarify) Assoc. Editor for Sedimentology but I haven't had Ian as Chief Editor yet.

No worries. Let me know when you know more.

I plan to come to EGU as well this year. Happy to help.
Last week I presented the concept of grassroots journals at two conferences and the feedback was positive. So I have decided to get serious and would also like to present it at EGU.
https://grassroots.is/
So we could have:
Be your own Publisher (EarthArXiv) &
Be your own Editor (Grassroots journals).

Hi Victor, good to hear that you are also going to be there. I think we can integrate the idea of grassroots into the townhall meeting, as this year we had plenty of time left.
Victor Venema Thu 13 Sep 2018 1:11PM
Wonderful. Would be great to combine. Grassroots journals by itself is still quite small in 2019. Do you have my mail? [email protected]

Any plans for an EGU meeting/dinner of EA-philes?

Ah, I see. I was panicking without reason then :) I did submit the townhall, and register you as a convener as well. So I guess its good its already done :)
