Nominees

Jesse Noller

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.
