I should probably do a proper masto

I'm Vicky. I'm a librarian focusing on research reproducibility + research data management.
I gave an interview about me/my work recently: acrl.ala.org/dh/2018/04/04/rep

I love FOSS, open access, open educational resources, open EVERYTHING

I hate the corporate capture of scholarship

I co-founded an open source, open access repo for LIS scholarship: lissarchive.org

I also love my super cute black cat Little Boss & my partner @remram44

Huh. Any out there use Flockademic? How does this tool relate to something like ImpactStory?

One value-add is the ability to "add a journal." Anyone run a journal out of this?

I really want NecroDancer for the 2DS XL 😩

Send thoughts to my patient love, who is hearing me belt showtunes while working this shiny Saturday!

GitLab open sourced push mirroring and added it core. This is a great win for #decentralization!!! You can now run your own canonical GitLab instance & easily mirror to GitHub for findability.

Another reason why GitLab is #1

Think about opening your new project on gitlab.com instead of #github. Later on you can migrate it to your own server. github = dead end

RT @vboykis@twitter.com: Unreal. This thing has gone too far.

Is the Scholarly Kitchen just Medium, but for people who want to seem smart about scholcomm?

There was a young man
From Toulouse who got lim'ricks
And haiku confused

a thought that just resurfaced: it'd be cool if mastodon / the fediverse at large had some kind of standard way to surface people's blog rss feeds and the like.

like remember how facebook used to let you publish a feed? that was of course a stepping stone to their enclosure of the web - but what's, like, the conceptual inverse of that? a thing that uses the energy here to build the whole open-web-glued-together-by-some-protocols side of things instead of trying to eat it?

@kensanata I'm a published author, and I think that the original copyright term of 14 years with the option to renew once for 28 years total was perfectly reasonable.

I'm borrowing from my culture to create; it's only fair that what I create should become part of the culture so that others can build upon it.

Life of the author is excessive, IMO. Life + 70-90 years is outrageous, since the monopoly on a work no longer benefits the creator, but descendants who had no hand in its creation.

Yesterday was so productive. Today I've been totally derailed.
