A little about me:

• Co-founder of Wingware, maker of Wing IDE for Python

  http://wingware.com/

• Created Pythonology, one of the early Python Advocacy sites

  http://pythonology.org/

• Editor of the Python Success Stories collection

  http://pythonology.org/success http://python.org/about/success

• Member of the PSF
• Using Python since 1998

Some of my past contributions to the PSF:

• Chairman of the Board of the PSF since 2004

• Worked with legal counsel on the trademark policy

  http://www.python.org/psf/trademarks/

• Drafted parts of the license FAQ

• Supported funding of the website redesign, and participated in the work as a volunteer

  http://python.org/

• Supported paying nominal salaries for the critical work done by the Treasurer (Kurt Kaiser) and Secretary (David Goodger)

• Championed funding Jeff Rush in the current six-month trial period for the Python Advocacy Coordinator position position, which I now oversee together with Neal Norwitz

• Respond to email questions re: trademarks and licensing

Things I would like to see:

• An easier-to-use web framework for python.org
• Continued support for advocacy, if this proves effective
• Revival of the grants process in some form
• Development of a more effective fund raising capability (more like a "normal" charity)

Notes:

I am also chairman of the Python Support Committee, which is charged with fund raising, but haven't had much time for this so there is little progress.

My company, Wingware, was previously a sponsor of the PSF, under its legal name Archaeopteryx Software Inc, but converted to Emeritus status when I started putting time into the PSF.

I live in Cambridge NY, a rural town in upstate NY where "pie ala mode" was invented and life is good.

I was elected to the PSF membership during the first PyCon in 2003. Shortly after that I become a committer on Python itself. Over the years I have made various contributions to the Python community, the largest of which was writing the python-dev Summaries for over two and a half years.

At PyCon 2006 I joined the PSF board. I was also elected chairman of the Infrastructure committee which is nearly completion on moving Python's issue tracking from SourceForge over to our own Roundup installation.
