Pleased to be at UT Knoxville listening to @kfitz talk about community led infrastructure for knowledge production 🌻 a nice reminder of why I have this account!

here are some takeaways:

🌼 open access without open infrastructure cannot meet the goals of equity, quality, usability, and sustainability. Regardless of who owns them, decisions about our platforms must be transparent and community driven.

🌼 it is hard to move people away from closed infrastructure like social media platforms because we expect these platforms to be free and easy to use.

🌼 It is difficult to build a platform that is truly open because large and midsized operations are limited to corporate cloud providers like Amazon, Microsoft, or Google by time, money, and ability.
