Biographies

At the W3C I used to give lots of talks and interviews but those who requested a biography often had different word length requirements. So, I found maintaining a resource like this was handy. I've kept it up for conferences, article bylines, and speaking to the press about Wikipedia. However, this isn't intended for linking to or use outside of that context.
