Dominique Hazaël-Massieux, W3C Staff
Who am I?
Vast question! But leaving apart the introspection questions, I hold an
Engineering degree from Ecole Centrale Paris
; I joined W3C first as its Webmaster through a V.I.E. exchange program at M.I.T.,
then was recruited as part of the INRIA-, then ERCIM-based European Team
of W3C.
My work in W3C
Working from France, I’m currently involved in the following
projects:
- the Mobile Web Initiative,
of which I am the Activity Lead, supervising mobile-related work in W3C
and ensuring that W3C technologies take into account the specificities
of mobile devices;
- the Telecommunications Vertical champion, in charge of understanding the specific needs from the Telecommunication industry on and from the Web, and turning these needs into actionable plans in W3C;
- the Web & Mobile Interest Group (WebMob), the group that helps push the Web toward the top of the podium on mobile;
- the Web Real-Time
Communications Working Group that is bringing
peer-to-peer audio/video connections to the Web;
- the Device APIs Working Group
that is looking at enriching HTML5 with access to a
device’s camera, addressbook, calendar, etc. from the browser, to make Web
applications as powerful as traditional “native”
applications;
I am also involved in the European-funded projects HTML5Apps and MediaScape.
Before my current activities, I served as Staff Contact in the Mobile
Web Best Practices Working Group, and as co-Chair of the Mobile
Web Test Suites Working Group. I served as staff contact to the Geolocation Working Group on a few occasions.
I have also developed a number of the Web applications used by W3C to support its on-line collaborative work as part of the W3C Systems Team, and continue to develop tools for my W3C groups on a more ad-hoc basis (mostly on GitHub.
Even earlier, I was Activity Lead of the Quality
Assurance Activity and Staff Contact of the Quality
Assurance Working Group; I was also involved in the early work on GRDDL and various Semantic Web
projects.
I’m also interested in Web Accessibility — as part
of a larger focus of mine on usability.
More details about my activities are available in my Work
blog and my microblog.
