> how could we shift the status quo for science to associating prestige in an open system

If you're sufficiently motivated to consider actual engagement, you might like to think about lending support to the excellent work being done by the Open Knowledge Foundation (http://okfn.org)

"The Open Knowledge Foundation (OKF) is a non-profit organisation founded in 2004 and dedicated to promoting open data and open content in all their forms – including government data, publicly funded research and public domain cultural content."

There's plenty of opportunity to get in there and make a significant contribution, e.g. http://openbiblio.net/ just to pick an example at random.
