Dr. Lauren Wood

Lauren Wood is an experienced internet project, program, and product manager. She has a long history in working with XML, and before that SGML, with experience in XML projects ranging from publishing to significant input into SoftQuad’s XMetaL XML editor. She chaired the US XML Conference from 2001 to 2005, chaired the W3C DOM Working Group from its inception to the end of Level 2, and played an active role in many other OASIS and W3C technical committees.

Lauren also has experience in settings where XML is used more under the covers, such as chairing the Business Marketing Expert Group for the Liberty Alliance, managing the localisation and accessibility feature teams for SoftQuad’s HoTMetaL HTML editor, and most recently, managing a project for Sun Microsystems that involved cloud computing, client-side software, and hardware design.

Lauren has been a Faculty member of the Summer School since the beginning. In her spare time she knits and renovates the house.
