We recently participated in a panel at this year's OASPA conference on Open infrastructure, looking at what forms of community-owned and open source systems are important, and why.
The panel highlighted critical questions and issues surrounding the recent focus on open infrastructure and its relationship to open access, with panelists sharing perspectives as practitioners, advocates, and researchers on the topic. (Our slides are available at this link.)
