CrossRef annual meeting summary

this has been my first opportunity to report on the CrossRef meeting that both Stuart and I attended last week. i'm not going to go into too much detail, but give you links to the important sites so you can read more if you want. it's unfortunately the case that CrossRef have not yet (to my knowledge) released the presentations to their website, but when they do, i'll update to link through to the excellent talk ("Quality and Trust in Scholarly Publishing") given right at the end of the day by Sally Morris, ALPSP's previous CEO.

Here's the meeting agenda, biographies and presentations - the latter of which will likely be where those presentations come live.
