Globalization Image Assistant (GIA) is a tool for total life-cycle
management of large-scale image globalization projects. I will present
my findings on some of the more exotic 'quirks' of .NET components used
in the project (complete with workarounds), how to patch up the gaping
security holes of .NET distributable EXE and DLL components, and an
example of the System.Globalization namespace at work.

Bjorn Austraat is the Principal Consultant of Austraat Globalization
Solutions.  Prior to launching Austraat Globalization Solutions, he was
the Director of the Globalization Consulting group with Convey Software
in San Francisco, CA. Bjorn has more than 15 years of experience in the
areas of globalization, translation and localization.

His responsibilities at Convey Software included the creation of
globalization roadmaps for complex Web properties, internationalization
tool development, targeted technical consulting and executive training
as well as leading internal and external knowledge transfer projects.

Bjorn also taught a highly successful seminar on software and Web
globalization at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, a
private graduate school in Monterey, CA.

Before joining Convey Software, Bjorn served as Senior Localization
Specialist at Berlitz International and led a comprehensive Machine
Translation research project at IDOC, Inc. (now Bowne Global Solutions).

He holds a Master's Degree in Conference Interpretation from the
University of Vienna and a Master's Degree in Translation and
Interpretation from the Monterey Institute of International Studies.
