Matthew Bernius, Co-Director and Researchers Guy Paddock (working on the Page2Pub project) and Rachael Gootnick (Open Publishing Guide project) of the Open Publishing Lab (OPL) at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) describe how their individual interests drive creative solutions for the future of publishing.

The OPL team describes the future of publishing as multi-faceted, with many solutions that are portable, timely, and context sensitive - moving from more information everywhere, to information in context.

From an Open Source Economic Development perspective, OPL@RIT is active in the five areas of the Innovation Framework, a heuristic model to guide sustainable investment in education, economic, and workforce development –

Brainpower: the Lab generates a powerful re-mix by leveraging individual team interests, time, and attention with deep cross campus knowledge resources

Innovation Networks: OPL team products build networks that explore new ways to engage students and community, accelerating the collective design of new solutions for the future of publishing

Quality, Connected Place: OPL is a physical gathering hub of diverse interests and talents; a model of University culture that prioritizes student led innovation strengthened by cross campus collaboration.

Dialogue and Inclusion: OPL Projects - Innovation News, the Social Networking Game meetu, Page2Pub, and the Open Publishing Guide - serve the creative and passionate interests of RIT students, faculty and a larger world community

Branding Stories: the Open Publishing Guide connects people, their ideas, and their communities directly to the publishing process

The Open Publishing Lab (OPL) is an example open environment cultivating individual creativity and collaboration to generate new project solutions for the future of publishing.
