Sebastian Rahtz is Information Manager at Oxford University Computing Services, where he continues to evangelize for XML content on the web using a decent schema. Given that he is heavily involved in the Text Encoding Initiative, it is no surprise that he produces Web pages written in TEI XML. Until recently he was director of OSS Watch, JISC's Open Source Advisory Service, and remains an open source evangelist. Sebastian facilitated a workshop session on "Geolinked Institutional Web Content" with Patrick Lauke and Nigel Bradley.

Sebastian Rahtz is normally Information Manager for Oxford University Computing Services, but is currently seconded part-time to manage the JISC Open Source Advisory Service (OSS Watch). As this role lets him play with open source software a lot, and reject MS Word attachments with a clear conscience, he is having fun. Sebastian also serves as a member of the Board of Directors, and Technical Council, of the TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) and recommends TEI markup to anyone who stays around long enough to listen. Sebastian gave a plenary talk on Beyond Free Beer: Is Using Open Source A Matter Of Choosing Software or Joining A Political Movement? and co-facilitated a workshop session on Being Open Source with Randy Metcalfe.
