| Just three things that Jesse has accomplished in the last year show his dedication to Python and the PSF. * Established the `Sprints Project`_ and funded several worthwhile projects. This is the PSF at its best - finding and serving Python-related projects to advance the language as a whole. Not only did this get code committed for the benefit of Python generally, Jesse also got the Python Sprints website launched (an endeavor in itself). * Served as Program Committee Chair (PyCon 2010) and Co-Chair (PyCon 2011). This is a lot of work and is the PSF's biggest project from year to year. Jesse knows about how PyCon works from the inside out, having established himself as a real contributor over several years. * Acted as a mini-BDFL for PEP 3148, shepherding the Futures module through the PEP process all the way to acceptance. In addition, Jesse continues to work as a core committer, blogs about Python, works at a Python Startup, and is always active defending and explaining Python on Reddit and Hacker News. .. `Sprints Project`: http://pythonsprints.com/about/ Raymond Hettinger ================= *2010 Board Member.* |

| Incumbent board member. I've been a consultant since 1984 and first got involved with Python in 1997 by porting it to OS/2 (with patches into the Python core) and then for a number of years produced RPMs for Python that were picked up by Red Hat. I've worked with Python, Zope and Twisted ever since. I started the DFW Pythoneers usergroup in 2005, became a member of the PSF in 2006, and co-chaired PyCon in Dallas for 2006 and 2007. I was hired by the PSF to be Python Advocacy Coordinator for two six-month terms in 2006/2007 and have produced a number of screencasts about Python at www.showmedo.com. I also coordinated in 2007 the community response to the Forrester Research study on dynamic languages that rated Python highly. I've presented about Python at the Vancouver Python Workship (2004), PyCon (2006-2009), Texas Regional Python Conference (2007), PyArkansas (2008) and Texas OpenSource Symposium (2008) and numerous DFW Unix and DFW Pythoneer usergroup meetings. |

| Your longest-standing Board member remains ever ready to mentor the young, or to chide them, depending on which medications he forgets to take from day to day. 2009 was a challenging year for the PSF, primarily for financial reasons. I'm pleased to say the Board responded appropriately without going overboard, continuing to make grants at a lower but sustainable level, while establishing new accounting and budget procedures. Exciting as watching rocks sleep? Yup, but essential - the glory of serving on the Board isn't for everyone ;-) |

| Steve Holden asked me to submit a nomination. I'm the lead developer of Pynie, an implementation of Python 3 on the Parrot VM, as well as architect of Parrot (yes, the VM is named after a Monty Python sketch, you see, it all started with this April Fool's joke...). I'm not a PSF member yet, but hope to join in the future. I'm currently studying at the University of Bristol in the UK, where I'm subversively working for student rights to do assignments in Python. I have experience in open source foundations and communities. Together with Dave Neary of GNOME, in 2005 I founded a group called FLOSS Foundations to bring together leaders from a broad array of open source foundations. I'm chairman of the board of the Parrot Foundation. I was on the review committee for the GPLv3. I was president of the Perl Foundation at one point, and still serve on the board as a legal advisor, though I'm no longer actively involved in daily operations. I might be best described as a fresh perspective and a voice of experience in the school of hard knocks. I'd be happy to serve the Python community in some useful way. |

Jesse Noller
2010 Board Member.
I (VanL) am nominating Jesse Noller to continue to sit on the board of directors. I have had the opportunity to work with Jesse very closely for a couple of years now, and he has put in extensive work to elevate the PSF and make it a better organization.
Just three things that Jesse has accomplished in the last year show his dedication to Python and the PSF.
- Established the Sprints Project and funded several worthwhile projects. This is the PSF at its best - finding and serving Python-related projects to advance the language as a whole. Not only did this get code committed for the benefit of Python generally, Jesse also got the Python Sprints website launched (an endeavor in itself).
- Served as Program Committee Chair (PyCon 2010) and Co-Chair (PyCon 2011). This is a lot of work and is the PSF's biggest project from year to year. Jesse knows about how PyCon works from the inside out, having established himself as a real contributor over several years.
- Acted as a mini-BDFL for PEP 3148, shepherding the Futures module through the PEP process all the way to acceptance.
In addition, Jesse continues to work as a core committer, blogs about Python, works at a Python Startup, and is always active defending and explaining Python on Reddit and Hacker News.
