Laureen is a technical and developmental editor for AlienVault; also a writer, publisher, enthusiastic geek enabler, autodidact, activist, and instigator. She has spoken before capacity crowds at engineering conferences, gatherings, and hackfests on the topics of new media, communications, and publication models. She lives aboard a 47’ catamaran with her family, and if she’s not online, it’s probably because she’s crossing an ocean.
