Dear Tarmo (and lists),

I am worried by the choice of Springer Gold OA proceedings. Does this mean
that authors will have to pay author fees (Author Processing Charge, APC)?
I would not submit to conference(s) with mandatory APC, as I believe that
they make the situation of scientific publishing in our field worse than
its current state (currently, for many papers that are made available on
author webpages or on arXiv, no one needs to pay).

Cheers
