About me
Hello, my name is Frank Taillandier, i'm a 39 year old french guy, living in Toulouse in the south of France. I'm spending way too much time in front of my computer but I have a real passion for the web, and I strongly believe that when it comes to publishing and develop on the WWW, we should rely on W3C standards.
That's why we decided to organize Sud Web a annual web quality conference in the South of France, where the sun shines and the geeks burn. The aime is to share our experiences and head towards an enhancement of web quality.
in In the same mood, Yann and I also decided to organize Aperoweb Toulouse, aka monthly meetings with web developers.
By the way, I'm currently in charge of quality assurance and user experience at WS interactive.
Please, don't hurt the web
I'm constantly following the evolution of some of the web standards like HTML5, CSS3 and DOM. These tools allows you to separate structure, style and behavior. They should be the essentials components of every well-formed website in order to ease maintenance and improve SEO, performance and accessibility, i.e ensuring your content is accessible to everyone, no matter what device or software they use.
Why do maintain a website who will only link to better websites and articles on the standards topic ? They're plenty of good technical resources on the web. In France, the web standards community is very active, either by translating best experts articles or by promoting web standards and accessibility.
Photography
I like to take pictures. I usually take street, candid shots and portraits either with a Panasonic LX5 or a Nikon D7000. You can see some pictures on my Flickr stream.
