     It has been suggested to me that it might be wise in light of some
     leaking information for me to provide TriPython with a update concerning
     my status.

     I have been a patient at UNC hospital for the last three weeks where I
     have been receiving IV antibiotics for a particularly difficult case of
     peripheral cellulitis I somehow picked up at the SciPy Conference. It is
     highly likely that within the next two or three days I will be
     transferred to a rehab facility of currently unknown location in order
     to finish out my antibiotic regimen. Rehab is supposed to be a sign that
     I'm getting better, however slowly.

     What I have learned throughout this ordeal is that I have forged bonds
     of friendship through TriPython that transcend any mere interest in a
     programming language. I have received a great deal of support while in
     the hospital including people taking care of my personal affairs on a
     day to day basis. And a considerable portion of that support has come
     through friends I first met at a TriPython event. In fact, the amount of
     support has been overwhelming whereby I haven't even been able to
     acknowledge all the offers of support. Please know that your kindnesses
     are appreciated even if appreciated silently.

     I also want to take the opportunity to reassure TriPython that my
     personal challenges in no way affect the ongoing operation of TriPython
     activities. If you've ever heard me deny that I am the "leader" of
     TriPython when called such, you are seeing the proof of it now.
     TriPython is the result of many people who over many years have entered
     into a web of trust to each handle a specific responsibility without
     supervision. You might recognize it as a rather Pythonic form of
     self-organization if you've ever been a student of the history of the
     Python community. Project nights continue to go on. Meetings continue to
     go on. Things continue to go on. The only role I play in this grand
     scheme is one of town crier with meeting announcements and town fool at
     meetings. Even those activities you will see will continue to go on in
     what is hopefully my brief enough absence.

     So that's all that needs to be said about that. Please return to your
     regularly scheduled program.

     Cheers, Chris Calloway
