[open-science] Arfon Smith and Rachel Bruce to keynote #FORCE2019

[Ginny Hendricks]

Hi, this is likely coming to you via several listserv postings; apologies for duplication.

The FORCE2019 meeting, taking place in Edinburgh this October 15-17, has announced their first two keynote speakers:

Rachel Bruce is Head of Open Science at UK Research and Innovation (UKRI <https://www.ukri.org/>); and Arfon Smith is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Open Source Software <http://joss.theoj.org/> and Head of the Data Science Mission Office at the Space Telescope Science Institute <http://www.stsci.edu/> in Baltimore. 

They’ll address themes in infrastructure and promoting open research

If you’ve never been to FORCE before, it’s a unique and collaborative meeting. It brings together multiple communities to discuss improving the ways scholarly and scientific information is communicated, shared and used.

"I can't think of a better conference for meeting smart people focused on designing and building the future of scholarly infrastructure – that's why FORCE is so special." – Arfon Smith
