[BOAI] Open-source Bazaar: Ensuring independent, open infrastructure in the age of acquisitions

[Emily Packer]

[With apologies for cross-posting]

Hi All,

I thought you might be interested in this pre-conference seminar, taking
place ahead of the SSP Annual Meeting in San Diego on Wednesday, May 29.

The session is entitled 'Open-source Bazaar: Owned by the community,
ensuring independent, open infrastructure in the age of acquisitions'.

With critical infrastructure such as hosting platforms and manuscript
submission systems being acquired by large commercial publishers, smaller
and society publishers wonder what other curve balls the future will bring.
For example, will end-to-end workflow solutions lock them in? Or will such
monopolies lock them out from participation? Community-owned infrastructure
can be an answer. This informational and interactive session seeks to bring
community-owned and governed initiatives together with those exploring
future alternatives to infrastructure consolidation.

The panel will be moderated by Kristen Ratan from the Collaborative
Knowledge Foundation (Coko) and Dan Whaley from Hypothesis, with a line-up
of speakers from eLife, Ubiquity, Coko, Hindawi and Michigan Publishing.
