In addition, the conference will again host a “hackfest”, where groups of software developers, managers, and users come together to plan, design, and develop a new feature for OJS, OCS, or OHS over the two days of the conference. Proposals for hackfest projects are being accepted until August 1. More information is available on the web site:

This is the first time that the PKP Conference is being held outside of Vancouver, Canada, and we look forward to meeting more members of the growing, international PKP user community. Please register at:
