Open Source Publishing Briefing

What we make is often defined by what tools we can use to make it. This briefing introduces designers and publishers who are moving beyond the limited set of possibilities offered by commercially available publishing tools and processes.

This briefing breaks down outmoded boundaries in the publishing process between writing, designing, and printing: between the page and the 'Net. Attendees will hear from presenters how dispensing with these boundaries and using open source technologies opens up creative opportunities for cross-format experimentation in the future of publishing.

Presenters include Simon Worthington and Laura Oldenbourg of Mute Magazine, Femke Snelting and Harrison of Constant's Open Source Publishing.
