It would be super interesting if whoever wrote the statement was picking
it up from Radical OA. However it seems more likely that they are
drawing from much more discussions around 'disruptive innovation' and
'disruptive business' that have been going on for nearly 25 years.
Decent overview can be found here:

>> Subject: Scholastica and 'Academic-Led Publishing Day'
>> Dear comrades and members of the collective,
>> We have recently received the email underneath from Scholastica about
>> whether we as a collective would like to take part in an “Academic-Led
>> Publishing Day” they are initiating. We have discussed this informally
>> with several members and have decided not to take part in this day on

>> of individual members in this matter though, so if anyone is
>> interested in taking part individually they can of course do so.
>> Dear Danielle,
>> Thank you for your invitation to take part in “Academic-Led Publishing
>> Day”. There are various reasons why from a Radical Open Access
>> perspective we would choose not to take part in such a day. Let me set
>> out some of these reasons. First of all, we feel the name of your
>> proposed event is problematic. None of the organisations you mention
>> in your email is academic-led (or scholar-led if you prefer that
>> term)—with the exception of Ubiquity Press, which is however
>> predominantly operating as a commercial service and infrastructure
>> provider. Looking at the organisations you list this seems very much
>> an “academy-led” event, and we suggest you perhaps change the name
>> accordingly, i.e. to “Academy-Led Publishing Day”.
>> We feel words are important here, even more so as a true “Academic-Led
>> Publishing Day”, would indeed be one that is organised and initiated
>> by academic-led publishing initiatives themselves instead of by
>> commercial service providers such as yourself. The Radical Open Access
>> Collective promotes community ownership of research (as you say you
>> do), but for us this includes ownership and custodianship of open
>> publishing infrastructures. To this end we have set up an information
>> portal which lists open source publishing software and platforms, open
>> and non-commercial alternatives to the services you yourself and
>> Ubiquity provide. We feel taking part in an “Academic-Led Publishing
>> Day”—which we would like to emphasise is not academic-led but
>> initiated by yourself, a for-profit intermediary—as it is currently
>> conceived means we will indirectly be promoting the commercial
>> services you provide. Although we acknowledge that presses might
>> choose to use your services and benefit from them, as a collective we

>> instead.
>> We would very much like to support an “Academic-Led Publishing Day” if

>> Subject: Scholastica and 'Academic-Led Publishing Day'
>> Dear comrades and members of the collective,
>> We have recently received the email underneath from Scholastica about
>> whether we as a collective would like to take part in an "Academic-Led
>> Publishing Day" they are initiating. We have discussed this informally
>> with several members and have decided not to take part in this day on
>> behalf of the Radical Open Access Collective, we outline why we made
>> this decision in our response below. We do not want to speak on behalf
>> of individual members in this matter though, so if anyone is
>> interested in taking part individually they can of course do so.
>> Dear Danielle,
>> Thank you for your invitation to take part in "Academic-Led Publishing
>> Day". There are various reasons why from a Radical Open Access
>> perspective we would choose not to take part in such a day. Let me set
>> out some of these reasons. First of all, we feel the name of your
>> proposed event is problematic. None of the organisations you mention
>> in your email is academic-led (or scholar-led if you prefer that
>> term)-with the exception of Ubiquity Press, which is however
>> predominantly operating as a commercial service and infrastructure
>> provider. Looking at the organisations you list this seems very much
>> an "academy-led" event, and we suggest you perhaps change the name
>> accordingly, i.e. to "Academy-Led Publishing Day".
>> We feel words are important here, even more so as a true "Academic-Led
>> Publishing Day", would indeed be one that is organised and initiated
>> by academic-led publishing initiatives themselves instead of by
>> commercial service providers such as yourself. The Radical Open Access
>> Collective promotes community ownership of research (as you say you
>> do), but for us this includes ownership and custodianship of open
>> publishing infrastructures. To this end we have set up an information
>> portal which lists open source publishing software and platforms, open
>> and non-commercial alternatives to the services you yourself and
>> Ubiquity provide. We feel taking part in an "Academic-Led Publishing
>> Day"-which we would like to emphasise is not academic-led but
>> initiated by yourself, a for-profit intermediary-as it is currently
>> conceived means we will indirectly be promoting the commercial
>> services you provide. Although we acknowledge that presses might
>> choose to use your services and benefit from them, as a collective we
>> aim to promote and seek alliances with non-profit open alternatives
>> instead.
>> We would very much like to support an "Academic-Led Publishing Day" if
>> it was indeed initiated bottom up by scholar-led publishing
>> initiatives, and we very much support the not-for-profit organisations
>> that are taking part in this event. We also don't want to speak for
>> individual members and would not want to discourage them from taking
>> part in this event (and we will forward your message to our mailing
>> list), but as a collective we choose to pass on this one, we hope you
>> understand.
>> Best wishes,
>> Janneke
>> Hi Janneke,
>> I hope this email finds you well! I'm reaching out about an event
>> we're organizing this February along with the Library Publishing
>> Coalition, Michigan Publishing, Ubiquity Press, the University of
>> California Press and others around academy-owned journal publishing
>> called "Academic-Led Publishing Day." We thought it would be a great
>> opportunity for the Radical Open Access Collective to join other
>> organizations in raising awareness about the need for community
>> ownership of research.
>> "Academic-Led Publishing Day" is a group-run digital event, during
>> which participating individuals/organizations will be sharing
>> resources and facilitating discussions around academy-owned journal
>> publishing.
>> It is important to everyone involved that there not be any "ownership"
>> of this day. Rather, it is an independent initiative that all
>> participants are "co-hosting" and co-promoting via a shared event
>> website and their own channels.
>> I was wondering if the Radical Open Access Collective would be
>> interested in joining? I'm attaching an invitation PDF to this email
>> with additional information about the event and how to get involved.
>> I'd be happy to schedule a brief call to discuss this in more detail.
>> All the best,
>> Danielle
