- Autocratic governance structures are prevalent in open source projects. One key figure in such a structure is the project founder, often called ‘Benevolent Dictator for Life.’ These benevolent dictators typically engage in autocratic decision-making by virtue of having founded the project or holding gatekeeping roles. However, research has overlooked how autocratic governance is formed around the Benevolent Dictator for Life and the enduring appeal of this figure in open source projects. To this end, this study aims to explore the way autocratic structures in open source projects are sustained or changed and the roles that autocratic founders play in this process. Drawing upon the CARE theory, which theorises the relationship between personal data digitalization and human dignity, we propose a conceptual model that highlights the formation of autocratic structures and the distinct roles that founders can play during this process.

- Are social inclusion and social exclusion opposed? Through a three-year ethnography of an open source civic crowdsourcing platform aiming for generalized social inclusion, we show they are not. We argue that social inclusion and exclusion have a paradoxical relationship: ongoing tensions exist between them, and information systems shape those tensions. We find that design choices have crucial influence over the capacity of information system interventions to include and exclude and propose a framework for designing IS-based social inclusion interventions. The framework encompasses four types of strategies (positive discrimination, integrative oscillation, equitability and iterative inclusivity) for managing the paradoxical link between inclusion and exclusion through IS design. We also present the notion of "collectives" as a new way of thinking about exclusion criteria.

- The sustainability of commons has benefited from Elinor Ostrom´s analysis of shared resources. In her work, sustainability was described in a univocal manner–successful or not–depending on the common’s long-term capacity to survive within an uncertain environment. In recent years, this view of sustainability has been applied to the study of digital commons, including open source. Building on more recent work on sustainability, this paper challenges this univocal conception of sustainability in open source. Through a critical review of the literature, it unveils the coexistence of multiple notions of sustainability in open source and proposes a typology of sustainabilities (resource-based, infrastructural, and interactional). We propose that the degree and quality of the interrelationship between these different types of sustainability need to be explored, leading to the theorisation of three possible scenarios (trade-offs, synergy, and independence). We discuss and put forward a research agenda.

Public, libre, commons: On the logics, logistics and locations of democratic participation in the digital age

- This paper tells the story of Decide Madrid (Decide), a civic tech platform designed by Madrid's municipality in 2015 in the spirit of the autonomous and hacker philosophies that spearheaded the Spanish Occupy or 15M movement. We develop a biographical account of Decide to show how the design of the platform was modified over the course of four years to accommodate shifting ideas of how digital infrastructures can channel, both online and offline, the social energies and technical rationalities of political participation. In particular, we identify three design assemblages of democratic participation: the public, the libre and the commons, whose orientations and configurations sometimes share, and sometimes diffract, different logics, logistics and locations of where and how democracy ought to be activated in the digital age. We further show how over time these modulations cultivated a view of democratic culture as an experimental process.

From ‘making up’ professionals to epistemic colonialism: Digital health platforms in the Global South

- Platforms have been studied in terms of their impact on knowledge production and generation of social value. Little however is known about the significance of the knowledge they transfer to the recipient communities—often in faraway countries of the Global South—or its potential perceived colonizing effects. Our study explores the question around digital epistemic colonialism in the context of health platforms involved in knowledge transfer. Using a Foucauldian lens, we study digital colonialism as a phenomenon that emerges from platforms' underpinning power/knowledge relations. Drawing upon a longitudinal study of MedicineAfrica—a nonprofit platform intended to offer clinical education to healthcare workers and medical students in Somaliland—we discuss interview findings from two phases: (a) with Somaliland-based medical students who studied MedicineAfrica as part of their medical studies, and (b) with medical professionals who attended a MedicineAfrica Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course on Covid-19 treatment/prevention. Our study shows how the platform ‘makes up’ healthcare professionals by offering opportunities for learning and skill development whilst instilling work values and ethos resembling Western medical identities. The platform was also perceived to produce subtle colonizing effects as its content embodies knowledge that (a) presupposes medical infrastructures that are absent in the recipient country; (b) is presented in English instead of participants' mother tongue; and (c) neglects the idiosyncrasies of the local context. The platform sets its tutees in a colonial condition in which they cannot fully practice what they learn; they cannot entirely engage with the subject they learn, taught as it is in a different language, and they do not necessarily learn about the medical conditions and the patients they encounter. This alienation from their local context, embraced by the platform's underpinning power/knowledge relations, is at the heart of digital epistemic colonialism and comes together with the social value the platform generates.

- Sweden is transitioning from a provider-centric model of healthcare to a person-centric one through a large digital transformation initiative. Leading this transformation are local councils charged with co-creating with patients, citizens, and communities new digital systems. Previous literature has identified the difficulty of both large-scale change and implementing meaningful participatory processes. In this paper, we use Arnstein's model of citizen participation to analyze the degree of delegated decision-making found in managerial discourses and assumptions on this digital transformation. By comparing them with official documents, we find multiple tensions that preemptively undermine the potential active role that patients can play. Building on Arnstein's ladder of participation, we develop a framework that introduces four different modes of engagement for patient involvement in digital transformation initiatives. We suggest that beyond the design of participatory processes, digital transformations that rely on participation should focus on fostering social practices that disrupt established epistemologies.
