    1. Want to hear about the neoliberalisation of universities and how this impacts the theory and practice of 'openness'? @moananddrone and I are talking about it at #OpenRepo2019 at 1100 CEST. The full paper will be made openly available immediately afterwards.

      #OpenRepo2019 tl;dr: We want to reformulate the idea of 'open' as not an adjective that applies to research outputs as a product / commodity but as a process and a community of care in a similar way as @samoore_ in his formulation of the term 'the commons'.

          #OpenRepo2019 More tl;dr: We also spent some time critiquing particularly egregious misuses of the term 'open' and 'openness' such as openwashing on the part of software vendors and neoliberal appropriation of 'open' by professional bodies like Cilip.
