Jesse Noller

I am a Python Pro­gram­mer, father of two beau­ti­ful daugh­ters, and am involved heav­ily in the Python com­mu­nity — cur­rently I am work­ing on PyCon US 2013 as Chair (us.pycon.org) — the largest Python devel­oper con­fer­ence in the world. Addi­tion­ally, I serve on the Python Soft­ware Foun­da­tion (www.python.org/psf/) board of direc­tors as well as sev­eral com­mit­tees geared towards com­mu­nity edu­ca­tion and outreach.

I’ve also been slowly work on a FAQ about the PSF (psf-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/_docs/faq.html).

Other projects I am work­ing on:

• Python.org site redesign
• Sev­eral groups and projects focused on mak­ing the Python com­mu­nity event better:
• pythonmentors.com/
• pythonsprints.com/.
• I’ve worked on (but stalled) on a Python 3 advo­cacy site

Addi­tion­ally I work with com­mu­nity mem­bers and spon­sors as much as pos­si­ble to get them involved more in the com­mu­nity aspects of Python — either help­ing them draft grant requests for the PSF (www.python.org/psf/grants/) or coach­ing them on where they can fur­ther help or con­tribute. I work with poten­tial spon­sors to help guide them where their con­tri­bu­tions can do the most help for the PSF, com­mu­nity, PyCon, out­reach groups such as PyLadies, etc.

Addi­tion­ally I am a Python core con­trib­u­tor (osten­si­bly for the mul­ti­pro­cess­ing module).

I work for a com­pany in Nat­ick, MA — Nasuni Cor­po­ra­tion, and I some­times blog for the com­pany. Noth­ing I say on this site or blog is offi­cially or unof­fi­cially endorsed by the company.

I’ve been lucky to write the fore­wards to two books — “Dive into Python 3″, by Mark Pil­grim and “The Python Stan­dard Library by Exam­ple” by Doug Hell­mann. I also got to write a fair amount for the now defunct Python Mag­a­zine (archives).
