[PSF-Community] No more me

[Steve Holden]

Hi Alex,

Long time no hear. Hope everything is well with ZPUGDC.

I’m Steve Holden, and have in the past been both a director of the PSF and its chairman. I started PyCon in the States. These things are all in the past now, and they are all doing better since I left them. It’s great that so many people are enthusiastic about joining this list.

I remember being in on the relatively early days of python-list, and one of the things that most it so attractive was its determinedly positive approach. This gets more difficult as a list gets larger, so I would encourage you all to think of yourselves as empowered to maintain that (gently and positively) whenever anyone begins to go off the rails.
