librarypublishing-org-8529		Thinking Politically About Scholarly Infrastructure | Library Publishing Coalition			.html	text/html	2272	162	58	In a 2019 Team Warren Medium post, Senator Elizabeth Warren condemned past policy decisions which favored increased corporate consolidation in the agriculture sector and cited her strong support for "a national right-to-repair law that empowers farmers to repair their equipment without going to an authorized agent." As much as I admire Warren's policy-making, I don't hold my breath for a day any time soon when a top-down ruling will allow scholars to "get under the hood" and tinker with Digital Commons software to turn off the Elsevier data pipeline. For those of us considering ways to Exit, when Voice and Loyalty are no longer sensible options, how do we continue to foster and incentivize more work in open scholarly infrastructure? What I am suggesting is that we find ways to do a version of this for scholarly infrastructure, to induce income-seeking developers of our favorite new research tools to release their code as open source, and to offer similar prizes on an annual basis to individuals (including the original developers) who release substantially updated versions, maintenance, and user support. https://www.ted.com/talks/marcin_jakubowski_open_sourced_blueprints_for_civilization/transcript https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2017/08/15/scholarly-communications-shouldnt-just-be-open-but-non-profit-too/	./cache/librarypublishing-org-8529.html	./txt/librarypublishing-org-8529.txt
