Public Knowledge Project: Achieving Sustainability for an Open Source Software Initiative

Home / Project Briefing Pages / CNI Spring 2011 Project Briefings / Public Knowledge Project: Achieving Sustainability for an Open Source Software Initiative

April 1, 2011

Brian Owen

The Public Knowledge Project (PKP) has been a very successful open source project during the past 10 years. The most recent count of Open Journal Systems (OJS) installations exceeds 8,000 and continues to grow. PKP’s most recent initiative, Open Monograph Press (OMP), intends to extend the success in sustainable journal publishing to the book domain. As PKP grows, it has commenced the development of a long term sustainability strategy that will undertake the transition from a project to a distinct organizational entity and the concurrent development of a more robust financial model that will not be largely dependent on grant funding. PKP is seeking opportunities to consult with not only the extensive PKP community, but also others involved in developing and implementing systems to support scholarly communications services.

The purpose of this session is to review PKP’s recent initiatives, describe the community it serves, and invite feedback on a variety of key areas including:
• development of partnerships
• operational and support tiers
• financial models
• incorporation
• governance models
