Daniel Glazman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel Glazman (born 1967) is a computer programmer, best known for his work on Mozilla's Editor and Composer components and Nvu, a standalone version of the Mozilla Composer, created for Linspire Corporation. He lives in France.

He studied at École Polytechnique, graduating in 1989, and Sup'Télécom Paris, graduating in 1991. He started work at Grif SA, a software company specialising in SGML editors. He worked at the Research & Development Centre of Electricité de France from 1994 to 2000, holding several positions from research engineer to team manager. During 2000 he also worked at Amazon.fr and Halogen before joining Netscape Communications Corporation to work on Mozilla's CSS rendering, Editor and Composer.

Glazman was involved in the standardization of HTML 4 and CSS 2 and is still an Invited Expert in W3C's CSS Working Group.

He now runs his own company, Disruptive Innovations.

Daniel Glazman announced on September 15, 2006 that he has stopped official development on Nvu and he is developing a successor to it, tentatively called Composer (or Mozilla Composer 2.0), as a Mozilla.org project. It is written from scratch and based on Mozilla trunk Gecko 1.9 and XULRunner. PHP and CSS will be supported. A community-driven fork, KompoZer, maintains Nvu codebase and fixes bugs until a successor to Nvu is released.
