I was a bit uncomfortable with Chris Long's reference to publishers wanting to see large numbers of social media followers when considering book proposals, and I'm not keen on the institutional focus, but I was otherwise supportive of his approach, and Jim Groom's discussion, around the idea of working openly. And if it moves us from a culture of closed to a culture of open, I'm good with it: "This vision of public scholarship and infrastructure is echoed in Chris Long's notion of the ideals that can and should undergird a public, land grant university that is invested in cultivating and sharing as widely as possible the ideas that inform who we are as a culture." And after that, we can start to talk about one's personal identity over and above one's institutional identity.
