Summary
The article discusses Open Digital Infrastructure as the community-driven, open-source foundation for digital systems, highlighting how code, standards, and knowledge assets are produced by volunteers, researchers, and SMEs. It argues that while FOSS has achieved victory, the movement is fragmented and in decline, prompting critical technologists to seek ways to align open-source work with the public interest. The piece references the Open Digital Infrastructure Insights Fund, a Leiden University research group, and links to the downloadable FOSS report, framing the project as part of studying what comes after FOSS.
