%% The class cedram-ALCO is just a wrapper around amsart.cls (version 2)
%% implementing the layout of the journal, and some additionnal
%% administrative commands. Two options are available:
%% * "francais" for a paper written in French (probably never used),
%%   in this case you should use alttitle, altkeywords and altabstract
%%   in order to pass English metadata.
%% * "Unicode" if the file is UTF-8 encoded.

\documentclass [ALCO,Unicode,screen,published]{cedram}
%\CDRspecialtype{edito}


%% Here you might want to add some standard packages if those
%% functionnalities are required.
%\usepackage{hyperref}
%\usepackage{graphicx}
%\usepackage[matrix,arrow,tips,curve]{xy}
% ...

%% The production will anyway use amsmath, hyperref, graphicx 

%% User definitions if necessary...  Such definitions are forbidden
%% inside titles, abstracts or the bibliography.
%\newcommand{\la}{\longrightarrow}

%% The title of the paper: amsart's syntax. 
\title
%% The optionnal argument is the short version for headings.
[Editorial]
%% The mandatory argument is for the title page, summaries, headings
 %% if optionnal void.

 This is the inaugural issue of a new journal, {\it Algebraic Combinatorics}, owned
 by mathematicians, and dedicated to the principles of Fair Open Access.

  In 1992, three members of our editorial board, Chris Godsil, Ian Goulden, and 
David Jackson, founded a different journal, {\it The Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics} (JACO), 
with the same goals and scope:  to emphasize the rich interplay between algebra and combinatorics. 
We applaud their vision and their success.  This
 previous journal was published originally by Kluwer Academic Publishers, and later 
 bought by Springer, which currently owns that title.

  We believe that it is important for the primary journal in this area to be owned not
 by a commercial publisher, but by mathematicians, to be available freely without subscriptions, 
 and without author page charges.  Among our reasons for this belief are the rising costs of 
 library journal subscriptions, the decreasing cost of mathematical typesetting and editing, 
 and the waning importance of print versions for journals.

  Much of the mathematical community seems to agree.  Support for this new journal 
 {\it Algebraic Combinatorics} has been overwhelming, not only from all of our editorial board 
 members who have left JACO to join the new journal, but also in the warm wishes and excellent submissions 
 received from mathematicians worldwide.

  We are very grateful for this support. We would also like to thank here several groups for their invaluable help, 
 including C\'elia Vaudaine, Thierry Bouche, and Patrick Bernaud at the Centre Mersenne.
 We might never have launched without the advice and support of MathOA, 
 particularly from Saskia de Vries, Beno\^{i}t \mbox{Kloeckner}, Johan Rooryck, and Mark Wilson.  We particularly thank Filippo Nuccio for 
 volunteering his talents as Layout Editor.  Lastly, for funding support, we thank the 
 Foundation Compositio Mathematica, the French R\'eseau National des Biblioth\`eques de Math\'ematiques,
and the Dutch Centrum Wiskunde en Informatica.
