Branching out
Looks like O’Reilly, the publisher of quality computer books is looking to expand. Big time.
They’ve kicked off two conferences on topics even further removed from their fare than usual:
Tools of Change, running in San José as this is written is a lesser departure. After all, it’s a short step from publishing books to speaking about publishing books.
The conference on Enery Innovation, on the other hand, is something else altogether. Expected to see Al Gore as one of the keynote speakers, but thus far the prophet of climate change du jour is absent from the program.
And someone might find the ability to purchase books chapter-by-chapter useful. Me? I’m happier with whole books, physical ones by preference. Though in the age of almost infinite storage capacity a fully searchable copy would be a nice bonus.
