[Jonathan Gray]

FYI.

Do Dryad have require or encourage an open license for data depositors?

---------- Forwarded message ----------
We are delighted to announce some recent and upcoming developments at Dryad.


First, we recently launched a redesigned website at
http://datadryad.orgwith lots of new content.
Some of the highlights include:

   - Information about the recently announced submission fees and pricing
   plans which will become effective Sept. 2013:
   https://www.datadryad.org/pages/pricing
   - An Ideas Forum where you can let us know what features you’d like us
   to work on next, vote or comment on ideas submitted by others, and check
   back to see our responses:
https://datadryad.uservoice.com<https://datadryad.uservoice.com/forums/197408-general>
   - An Integrated Journals page that helps depositors see which journals
   are coordinating the submission process with Dryad, figure out which stage
   in the publication process to submit data for your chosen journal, and
   more: https://www.datadryad.org/pages/integratedJournals



Second, all Dryad members, prospective members, and interested parties are
invited to the first annual membership meeting in Oxford, UK on Friday, May
24. This is part of a series of exciting events in Oxford that week
spotlighting trends in scholarly communication with an emphasis on research
data, including a Symposium on the Now and Future of Data Publication on
Wednesday, May 22nd, and an ORCID Outreach Meeting with a special joint
Dryad-ORCID Symposium on Research Attribution on Thursday, May 23rd. Remote
attendance will be available.   For more information, please see:

As you may be aware, Dryad is a nonprofit organization.  Membership is open
to a diverse range of stakeholder organizations, including but not limited
to journals, scientific societies, publishers, research institutions,
libraries, and funding organizations. To learn more about becoming a

If you work with a journal, society, publisher, library, funder or other
research organization and would like to learn more about how Dryad can help
you support the data publishing needs of your researchers, and how you can
