I don't talk about library systems as much as I used to partly because I no longer work in librarianship and because I'm more focused on my film criticism and cultural studies. But I'm still proud that I - and my workplace - tried to develop and promote open-source alternatives.

There was a road not taken and every library manager that put open-source too high on their risk register, every library manager that put their budgets towards proprietary systems led the sector down that road.

Our open-source project didn't work out. For a lot of reasons, political and technical. But it was still worth doing.
