[python-committers] Proposing Carol Willing to become a core developer

[Carol Willing]

Thank you for developing, supporting, and growing Python. Your impact on science and education is so valuable, and I hope to continue encouraging users and learners of Python.

Thanks for all of the kind words. (Victor, I loved your summary of all the ways that people contribute to making the Python community and language.)

In the spirit of a Monty Python introduction...

What is your name? Carol

What is your quest? To combine Python and Jupyter to inspire and teach others.

What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? For an African or European swallow, you can use Python, numpy, and Jupyter to calculate, explain, and share this information.

A special thank you to Guido for encouragement, kindness, and conversations about electronics tinkering. I look forward to working with the CPython team.

Warmly,

Carol
