O’Reilly is Shuttering Tools of Change (TOC)

By Dianna Dilworth on May 3, 2013 11:05 AM

After seven year of hosting the Tools of Change for Publishing Conference, Tim O’Reilly announced this week that he is retiring the conference and the TOC blog.

He explained in a blog post:

Seven years on, “digital publishing” is well on its way to simply being “publishing,” and options for both publishers and readers continue to evolve and expand. Publishers are significantly more change-hardy than they were in 2006. And there are plenty of other events that are helping publishers keep up with new technology offerings in the space.

O’Reilly explained further that the company is shifting its focus “from hosting the conversation about publishing technology to bringing our own tools to market.” This includes a collaborative writing platform code-named Atlas. The organization will continue to share thoughts on the O’Reilly Radar and on the Safari tech blog. AppNewser has covered the show for the past few years. Here is a link to the most recent show coverage.

Over the past couple months I have been working with Joe Wikert to bring together various tablet and eReader manufacturers. I’ve also dipped into my collection to provide some eReader that you might not see elsewhere.
