Organized in collaboration with the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IBL PAN), Open scholarly communication in the European Research Area for Social Sciences and Humanities – Polish National Node (OPERAS-PL), Strategic Collaboration for Interdisciplinary Research on Open Science in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SCIROS), and the National Information Processing Institute – National Research Institute (OPI PIB), the upcoming PKP Sprint will take place on May 18 and 19, 2026, in Warsaw, Poland.
The Public Knowledge Project (PKP) fosters consistent engagement and collaboration with its community. During PKP sprints, community members have a direct impact on the development of PKP software. These interactive events provide a platform for brainstorming critical tasks, setting priorities, and collaborating on improvements to the PKP software. Participants usually collaborate on small-size projects that have teamwork potential and include a mix of both technical and non-technical tasks. Past events have focused on building plugins, documentation, conducting usability tests, and exploring new features.
The PKP sprint is open to:
- Programmers
- Journal managers
- Librarians
- User interface experts
- other individuals involved in publishing
If you use OJS, OMP, or OPS for your publishing needs, and have ideas to improve these systems, we invite you to join our PKP sprint!
