<p>Do you use Open Journal Systems (OJS) or Open Monograph Press
(OMP)? Do you work in scholarly communications or library
publishing? Are you an open access and/or open source
advocate? Then you won’t want to miss PKP 2019!<br>
</p>
<p>Since 2007, the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://pkp.sfu.ca/">Public Knowledge Project</a>'s
(PKP) bi-annual conference has brought together participants
from around the world to discuss local publishing activities
and the latest in open access research. They also provide an
opportunity to learn and share innovative work related to open
source publishing technologies, including our flagship
software, OJS. In 2018, PKP turned 20. The <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://pkpbcn19.net/">2019 PKP
International Scholarly Publishing Conference</a> (PKP 2019)
will explore this milestone further, reflecting on the
maturation of open access and the open, community controlled
infrastructure that brings us all together. <br>

Cerdanyola del Vallès, Spain, PKP 2019 includes a week of
