Cosmin Truta reports
the death of Glenn Randers-Pehrson. “Glenn is one of the original designers of the PNG format, and a
co-founder of the PNG Development Group, back in the mid-90’s. He took
good care of the PNG Specification, as a contributing author for PNG
version 1.0, and as the main editor for all of the subsequent editions
through PNG 1.1 and 1.2, until the current W3C/ISO/IEC standard PNG
Specification, Second Edition. In addition, all of the related
Specifications, i.e., the registered PNG extensions, and the companion
MNG Specification version 1.0 and JNG Specification version 1.0, had
Glenn at the front as the main editor and moderator-in-chief.”
