I had reservations about doing so, but I finally ordered the "My Marxist Feminist Dialectic Brings all the Boys to the Yard" T-Shirt from T-Shirt Hell. I loved the shirt from day 1, but wanted to discuss the issues surrounding this. But you're male. And? This is one of the strangest responses I've yet encountered.

Although arguably a philosopher of his time, Michel Foucault is probably the thinker whose work has had the greatest impact upon me, academically. I first encountered his works in the third year of my undergraduate studies and his revolutionary thinking blew me away. From studies of madness, through the prison system to sexuality, his ability to take conventional wisdom and stand it on its head showed me the power of critical thought.

I have some qualms, which have been growing recently, about the vast number of meta- posts that have accumulated on the use of social media in academia. I need to state this is not a critique of any one of those individual pieces, or the people who made them. I agree with their content. Indeed, in the last week or so there have been several excellent articles published by colleagues for whom I have a great deal of respect.

The quest to build a system that allows publishing in PDF and XHTML from a single XML galley within OJS continues and I've made quite substantial progress. As before, the code for this article is available on my GitHub. Instead of working from the very basic stub, I instead used the existing xmlGalley template, reading and tracing through the code to work out what it does.

It is with a heavy and despairing heart that I write this post. It is not particularly well-structured owing to the emotive nature of the content. The state of Georgia have now executed Troy Davis, a black man whose life didn't turn out the way America promised. In 1991, Davis was convicted of murder and sentenced him to death on the testimony of nine eyewitnesses.

As promised when I described the problem I was having with the xmlGalley plugin in OJS, I'm going to begin describing the path I am taking to fixing this, and hope that the knowledge will provide some shortcuts for others wishing to develop plugins, amid the sparse documentation on this aspect. As OJS is the leading system for Open Access publishing, it is important that technical resources are available for others to build upon this platform.
