>Increasingly, open standards and free / libre / open source software (OSS) 
>are treated as a natural dyad by IT-policy makers and -managers. But are 
>they? If so, in what manner and from which angle? If not, what causes the 
>confusion?

>Aim and scope
>
>The relationship between standards and OSS is not at all self-evident. 
>This special issue aims to explore the area of interaction at the 
>crossroad of both fields, an area that threatens to be overlooked in 
>research which specialises in either field. It wants to draw attention to 
>several interesting issues in the area of overlap. Possible topics include 
>but are not limited to:
>
>-     comparison between standardisation and OSS processes (similarities 
>and differences; their limitations; etc.)
>-     critical analyses of  projects that address both standards and OSS 
>issues
>-     case studies of OSS standardisation
>-     interoperability and compatibility issues regarding OSS
>-     using OSS in/for standardisation, implementation, certification, etc.
>
>We seek papers that reflect state-of-the-art insights and research in this
>field, and that illustrate different viewpoints.
