Ready to sprint? We’re getting ready for another PKP sprint, this time in fabulous Heidelberg, Germany. The sprint will run from Thursday, September 20 through Friday, September 21, 2018. We are extremely grateful to our local host, the University of Heidelberg and look forward to meeting more friends from the German OJS network and elsewhere. You can read more about their activities here.
Venue
Heidelberg University Library
Plöck 107-109
69117 Heidelberg
Format
As always, we’ll run it unconference-style, with topics proposed by the group. In particular, we’ll be focusing on OJS 3.1, hacking in experimental features, building documentation, and exploring the new software. Much of this work will be technical in nature, but there will be opportunities for non-technical contributors.
