Report about the activities of the Committee for Electronic Publishing
of the EMS in 2009.

The main concern of the EPC this year (2009) were various DML issues:

1. In Spring there was a "Preparatory Meeting Towards a European
   Virtual Library in Mathematics" at Santiago de Compostela - Spain,
   13-14th March 2009 at wich most Committee members and many DML
   experts participated: http://www.usc.es/~esfmaths/.

2. On the occasion of an ESF meeting at Berlin, on June 15, 2009,
   there was a presentation of a Forward Look proposal concerning the
   EVLM by Thierry Bouche, upon a suggestion at the Santiago meeting.

3. In Summer, there was a workshop "Towards a Digital Mathematics
   Library July 8-9th, 2009, Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada":
   http://www.fi.muni.cz/~sojka/dml-2009-program.html, with similar
   participation as at the Santiago meeting.

4. In August, an EU-project concerning the EuDML has been accepted for
   support (1.6 Mill Euro/2 years). It will be negiotiated by José
   Luis Borbinha and Thierry Bouche on October 21 at Luxembourg.

5. Meanwhile, the EU Infrastructure ca,, was released on Juli 30
   (cf. http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/dc/index.cfm?fuseaction=UserSite.FP7DetailsCallPage&call_id=262)

   Concerning the Forward Look ESF proposal, it was decided
   to follow the advice of the PESC Standing Committee to
   integrate these efforts into the upcoming EC infrastructure
   proposal.

   The committee is willing to give advice w.r. to an integration of
   DML issues into an EMS infrastructure application.
