Could you please add the bio information & the attached photo below for 
the 2010 Frank Willison Award recipient (Christian Tismer) to:
http://www.python.org/community/awards/frank-willison/

“The 2010 Frank Willison Memorial Award for Services to the Python 
Community has been awarded to Christian Tismer 
<http://www.tismer.com/Home.html>.

Christian's contributions to the technology behind Python have focused 
on performance. For example, he is the founder of the Stackless Python 
<http://www.stackless.com/> project, a micro-threading system with the 
first implementation of generators and continuations. You can learn more 
about Stackless from the project's history page 
<http://www.disinterest.org/resource/stackless/2.6-docs-html/stackless-python.html#history> 
and this IBM developerWorks interview with Christian by David Mertz 
<http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-pyth7.html>.

Christian also co-founded PyPy 
<http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/>, an implementation of Python 
/in/ Python, with Armin Rigo and Holger Krekel. Christian worked on PyPy 
full time for a period, using EU funding. Later, he worked on the JIT 
compiler Psyco <http://www.psyco.org/> with Raymond Hettinger to create 
Psyco V2 <http://codespeak.net/pipermail/pypy-dev/2009q3/005288.html>. 
Most recently, he has been employed by CCP Games 
<http://www.ccpgames.com/> to work on combining Stackless and Psyco and 
updating them to support 64-bit systems.

In 1997, as one of his earliest contributions to the Python community, 
Christian launched the Starship Python <http://starship.python.net/> 
website…

When he's not working on Python, Christian enjoys watching movies, 
reading, and practicing playing piano. You can follow him on twitter 
@ctismer <http://twitter.com/ctismer>.”

Thanks,

Pat

Hi Pat,

the text is well-written, and I have nothing to change in the blog.

think I should...
