James Tauber ============ I became a member of the PSF and of its board in 2008. I am chairman of the trademarks committee and have been involved with the PSF's involvement in the Google Summer of Code every year and as the admin in 2007 and 2008. I want to continue to protect Python's trademarks and promote Python's usage both commercially and in open source projects. David Goodger ============= I have been an enthusiastic Pythonista since 1998, a member of the PSF since 2003, a Director and Secretary since 2006, and PyCon Chair for 2008 & 2009. My motivation is to give back to the Python community, and help it grow. Tim Peters ========== While my efforts to get the PSF recognized as a bank holding company (and so qualify for billions of dollars in US TARP aid) haven't yet succeeded, I'm apparently the only director who even thought about it -- let alone type about it. If reelected, I will redouble my efforts to stamp out humor, lighten the mood, vastly increase spending while enormously cutting taxes, and in all other ways meet and exceed everyone's demands -- the more contradictory the better. If not reelected -- well, you don't want to go there. I'm the only director who's been on the Board forever, and without me they couldn't even figure out when a meeting reached quorum. Face it: I'm just plain too big to fail ;-) Martin v. Löwis =============== |
Candidates for the 2009 PSF Board of Directors
The following people have been nominated as Directors of the Python Software Foundation for the term beginning 27 March 2009. Their self-written summaries follow.
Nominees
Incumbent Director Stephan Deibel has decided not to run for the Board this year.
Steve Holden
I have been a member of the Foundation since 2003, and joined the Board a year later. As the PSF's current chairman I have worked to simplify the Foundation's bylaws and improve the way the Foundation fulfils its mission statement. I would like to continue this work and ensure that the Foundation is equipped with policies and procedures that will enable it to better serve the whole Python community, and particularly the needs of the developers.
Brett Cannon
I have been a member of the PSF since 2003 and a board member since 2006. I have been the chairman of the infrastructure committee for several years, during which we moved from SourceForge to our own hosting solution. I continue to try to empower the PSF to help make the development of Python easier for existing core developers as well as anyone else attempting to contribute to Python.
Raymond Hettinger
I have been a member of the PSF since 2003 and a board member for one year. I'm an active developer of the Python core. I want to continue to support the PSF goals of promoting the language and safeguarding its IP rights.
