We bought a cheap second-hand Gaomon Graphics Tablet S620 for my 9yo and it works like a charme ootb with Ubuntu.

Baker: What if the MLA was to offer its collective expertise and imprimatur for a writing environment? #s620 #mla23

Baker: If we want to think about the future, we should turn to the past. Why did we do things as we did in the past? And how has that changed in recent years?
#s620 #mla23

Baker: Google recently changed the how much storage our university accounts had, reducing it by a factor of 5. We had to scramble to move data and, strangely, Google didn't respond to our requests to buying more space. #s620 #mla23

Baker now citing @mkirschenbaum. #s620 #mla23

Baker now citing @kfitz's Generous Thinking and its call for us to step away from the mindset of competition that infects the university. #s620 #mla23

Baker: There are lots of institutional obstacles to collaboration:
- The cult of the single author
- Insistence on idiosyncrasy and ambition
- Slow and impersonal mediation
- Insufficient claims for the necessity of our disciplines

#s620 #mla23

Baker: we need to think about changing our conditions and mode of production by changing the tools we use for that production. #s620 #mla23

Baker: What do we want in a research platform? Accessibility, persistence, curatorial, private, but also public, scalable, collaborative. #s620 #mla23

Baker pulls up @mkgold's response to the "critical infrastructure" panel from #mla18. #s620 #mla23

Next up is Samuel Baker, #s620 #mla23

Ball: Eventually we realized we didn't need to make the platforms interoperable. Instead, we just needed APIs that were clearly designed. #s620 #mla23

Slides for "The Tech Adoption Process" from the "What Do We Want in a Research Platform of the Future?" panel. #s620 #MLA23 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1YEDqnc7HJswtIVoIe9CrRItnG7M5dWazjMPelnj7GcE/edit?usp=sharing

Ball: MDPx is the Michigan-Minnesota Digital Publishing eXchange. These efforts (fulcrum, Humanities Commons, vega, Minforld, HuMetricsHSS, Public Philosophy Journal, and Collaborative Community Review) were sponsored by Mellon as well as (often) the NEH. #s620 #mla23

Ball: Open source platforms need to integrate with one another. There are, of course, social and institutional barriers to such things. #s620 #mla23

Ball: Why don't we have one digital platform? Because we don't all work in the same way. #s620 #mla23

Now up is Cheryl Ball, who is presenting on behalf of co-authors @mkgold and @kfitz. #s620 #mla23

. @bethseltzer: And we need to add something like an ethics check into the tech adoption process. Insisting on this will in the end lead to real changes to how software is built. #s620 #mla23

. @bethseltzer: If we want to support people on campus who are building, we could look for something like an incubator program. #s620 #mla23
