Yuri Ivan Rubinsky was a writer, software executive, and well known
promoter of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), which was
the basis for the now-ubiquitous XML. In Canada, he is probably best
known as founding co-director of the influential Banff Publishing
Workshop and for his work in applying technology to help visually
impaired people. This past weekend marks the 10th anniversary of his
passing away. He was a friend, colleague, peer and mentor to many of
us. He remains an inspiration to us all.
