A ballot is on to decide if ICALP proceedings should go open access.

  ... And some of us may have a vote. Read below for more information. LIPIcs (Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics) [1] is a series of high-quality open access (available online and free of charge) conference proceedings in informatics, published in cooperation with the Schloss Dagstuhl–Leibniz Center for Informatics, Germany [2]. The proceedings of the ICALP conference [3] have traditionally been published by Springer, who make it available online, albeit through a paywall. If you are not browsing from a University/Institution which has subscribed to the proceedings, you have to pay something like Euro 24.95 _per article_. EATCS, who conducts the ICALP conference, are currently holding a poll [4] to decide whether ICALP proceedings will continue to be published by Springer, or will move to LIPIcs. If you registered for ICALP, ESA, or MFCS in 2011, you have a vote. Please use it :-) .
