    ...next with my career, I attended PyCon North America in Montreal. I volunteered with the GNU Mailman team to expedite the release of Mailman 3.0. At the end of the sprint, I thought, "maybe I could charge for this." Later that year, I started Changeset Consulting, where I expedite long-awaited releases for open source software projects. Through Changeset, I helped the PSF finish and deploy the new PyPI, and I'm working on pip's dependency resolver overhaul and a fresh release of GNU Aut...

In order to make the project as easy manageable for the PSF as possible, special care has been taken to have all aspects of logistics, shipping, packaging, etc. done by the production agency.

For PyCon Ireland 2013, I've prepared and sent the PDF with the graphics to Vicky.

    ...next big change-and we consider it our next challenge. The open source movement claims that peer review of software by thousands can greatly improve the quality of software. The success of an operating system like Linux indicates that there is value to this claim. We believe that the next step, having millions of programmers, will cause a change of a different quality-the abundant availability of personalized software. The tools needed for this new way to look at programming will b...
