Molly Holzschlag, an advocate for the open web, has died.
From the Tuscon Sentinel:
Holzschlag, who reported on music for the Tucson Weekly in the 1990s, founded Open Web Camp, a Silicon Valley event that ran from 2009-2013, and was a leader of the Web Standards Project in the years before that. That group successfully pushed browser developers, including Microsoft, Opera and Netscape, to adopt web standards. More than once, she challenged Bill Gates face-to-face to fix problems with Internet Explorer.
She was 60 years old. Some users on Hacker News had some very kind words about her and her contributions to the web.
