Perdon por el ruido pero
creo que esto nos concierne a todos.
Me parece que es hora que la comunidad científica haga algo
al respecto.

Dear Friends,

My son sent me the link below to a very strong and very clear article in the
Guardian about the huge fees charged by technical publishers for access to
journals. It represents how I have felt for a long time, how the math
community among others is being outrageously exploited. I feel it ought to
galvanize scientists/mathematicians to react and would like to suggest
reprinting it in e.g. the Notices of the AMS, the Newsletter of the EMS, the
news email from the IMU, etc. The simple response for mathematicians is to
cease submitting any papers to Elsevier or Springer journals. (Excuse me but
I am sending this to a somewhat random sample of people that occurred to me
and whose email address I had -- eg I don't have an address for Ewing or
Friedlander.)

yrs faithfully,

David <dbmumford en gmail.com>****
