User:Reagle/Bio-factoids
Appearance
As I wrote in the post "Not notable: Dead to Wikipedia", I was disappointed with the quality the Joseph M. Reagle Jr. biography but abstained from editing it myself; in 2015 it was deleted for lack of notability. I then provided some verifiable factoids that someone could use if the article was resurrected, which it has been, but the biography is still lacking; the following material could help to improve the existing article.
Work
[edit]Standards
[edit]The W3C People page documents:
- Reagle worked at the W3C/MIT from 1996-2003.
- Reagle chaired various security, privacy, and policy working groups within the W3C. He was a co-chair XML Signature and XML Encryption working groups and also edited the specifications [1] [2]. The XML Signature work also entailed moving the work through the IETF as seen in these minutes
- Reagle oversaw the development of W3C trademark, patent, and copyright licenses. This is corroborated in an OSI request. He also worked on an "Analysis of P3P and US Patent 5,862,325" [3]
- During this time he was listed as one of the "Innovators Under 35" in 2002.
Academic
[edit]- Reagle is an Associate Professor at Northeastern university (see profile there).
- He was an early user and advocate of the Web and Open Access.
- He posted "The Parting of the Mist", a paper about *Blade Runner*, online in 1995 and which was translated into Italian in 1999. He argued that not only was Decard a replicant, but the others knew him to be one.
- He was perhaps the first to post all the content of a course, on New Media Culture, to GitHub under a Creative Commons license in 2012.
- Reagle was an early cypherpunk and student at UMBC as seen in the post on quantum cryptography to the cypherpunks list; also see this archive of Julian Assange related posts.
- He graduated from MIT in 1996 as seen in his Master's thesis on Trust in a Cryptographic Economy and Digital Security Deposits: Protocols and Policies.[4]
- He has long been affiliated with the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society; his CV lists him as two time Resident Fellow in 1998-1999 and 2010-2011; and Faculty Associate from 2011-2015;
- One of the things he produced during his first fellowship was research on the provenance of early quotations about the Internet.
- His CV documents he did a Ph.D. and taught at NYU; this is corroborated in this talk announcement and this syllabus.
- His 2010 book Good Faith Collaboration[5] received dozens of reviews, popular and scholarly.
- His book was released as a Web version under a Creative Commons license in 2011.
- The books' translation into Japanese is complete (aside from the references of the later chapters).
- Reagle was one of the first researchers to conduct a quantitative analysis of gender bias in Wikipedia biographies [6], which was followed by work on bias in free culture more generally[7], and studies of geek feminism[8].
- Reagle's second book, Reading The Comments: Likers, Haters, and Manipulators at the Bottom of the Web,[9] was published by MIT Press in April 2015; see the reviews.
- Reagle's third book, Hacking Life: Systematized Living and its Discontents, will be available from MIT Press in 2019; see Amazon page.
