04/09 - SyPy - Anthony Baxter "Python 3000"

his month we have a talk by Anthony Baxter on Python 3000.

Anthony Baxter
Google/Python Software Foundation

Anthony has been involved in the open-source community for more than a decade, largely working in Python and, in the last few years, on Python. He’s worked in the Internet area and in the telco space, where he gets to exercise his incredibly short attention span by working on far far too many things at once. He’s written or contributed to more open source projects than he can remember – mostly related to networking and protocol implementations.

He’s currently the release manager for Python. This is much less glamorous than you might think. After a number of years working for a travel-based telephone company, he’s recently started working for Google Australia.

Anthony’s spoken at a number of conferences, including a keynote at linux.conf.au 2008, at each of the 4 OSDC conferences held so far, and presented Effective Python Programming at OSCON 2005.
