Now that our authors have started to share the news, I also quickly want to say how happy I am that our book “The Politics of Open Infrastructures. Power, Governance, and Justice in Digital Knowledge Practices” is finally out!!! It’s an edited volume put together by Katja Mayer<\/a>, Ren\u00e9e Ridgway<\/a> and me that collects theoretical contributions and in-depth empirical case studies on open digital knowledge infrastructures from different countries and contexts! This rich compilation of cases shows the fragility of open infrastructures within the larger corporate digital ecosystem, but also outlines pathways towards more open, participatory, and just digital infrastructures.

A huge thank you to Open Book Publishers<\/a> for the swift publication process and support throughout! And, most importantly, A BIG THANK YOU to all our wonderful authors for their excellent contributions! – ranging from open internet standards, government data infrastructures, citizen science, community networks, practices of care & repair, to the future of infrastructuring openness:

Dr. Corinne Cath<\/a>, Niels ten Oever, Celina Strzelecka<\/a>, Francesca Musiani<\/a>, Simon Dumas Primbault, Ivonne Lujano<\/a> et al, Lucie Kolb<\/a> & Lara Kothe<\/a>, @Sebastian Z\u00e1rate & Jason Delborne<\/a>, Stefano Crabu, Cyrus Khalatbari, Nicolas Malev\u00e9, Annalisa Pelizza<\/a>, Katharina Meyer<\/a>, Leonhard Dobusch<\/a> & Maximilian Heimst\u00e4dt<\/a>
