PKP Software Development News Update: Join us November 20th, 2023

The PKP Software Development News Update is happening Monday November 20th, 2023, at 9 AM Pacific Time. The PKP 25th anniversary logo is featured as we have been developing FOSS software for scholarly publishing for a quarter of a century. The background of the design is filled with a photograph of the forest floor in British Columbia, Canada, where PKP shares an institutional home with SFU. The forest floor is covered with lush, vibrant life including green seedlings sprouting from the earth, mosses exchanging nutrients, and leaves from the canopy above coming down to add insulation and nutrition to the forest floor. The photograph was taken by PKP's Famira Racy, who aimed at capturing the natural relationships that foster life, be it in at the forest floor, or in a scholarly publishing ecosystem depending on infrastructure at its roots.

PKP invites those interested in the developments that underpin its scholarly publishing software to join in on November 20th, 2023, for a community webinar on PKP’s software development.

This event will be of interest to Strategic Partners, Development Partners, Financial Contributors, and Community Contributors, as well as the wider community interested in, or using, PKP’s free and open source software (FOSS) for independent scholarly publishing.

• Roadmap update

PKP software development

PKP is a community-governed project that has the interests of the scholarly publishing community and the greater public good in mind. The PKP community software development of Open Journal Systems (OJS; also used for conference proceedings), Open Monograph Press (OMP), and Open Preprint Systems (OPS), is based on the needs of those using the software — the needs of interconnected communities that have expressed the importance of fair and sustainable access to research, and the importance of infrastructure as a vehicle to making sure that long-term solutions are in place (and remain in place).

PKP thrives on community involvement and once again invites you to join the upcoming software development update, share perspectives, and get involved.
