Hi. I'm Barry Warsaw. I have worked for Canonical since January 2007. For my first three years, I was on the Launchpad Registry team, where I was primarily responsible for the implementation, care, and feeding of Launchpad mailing lists. I did a bunch of other things registry-related as well. In early 2010, I joined the Ubuntu Platform Foundations team.
Want to know about the latest developments in Python on Ubuntu?
Brief background
I've been a core Python developer since 1995, and worked with Guido in PythonLabs at various previous employers. I've written many independent Python libraries, was instrumental in the development of the email package, was lead maintainer of Jython for a while, and have had my hand in many aspects of the Python community and running the python.org infrastructure. I was release manager for Python 2.6 and 3.0 and a few earlier versions.
I'm probably best known for being the lead developer on GNU Mailman, a mailing list manager, for which I won the Second Annual Antonio Pizzigati Prize. In fact, it is GNU Mailman that powers Launchpad's mailing lists.
In my previous incarnations I did a lot of Emacs development.
You can find out more about me at my personal website http://barry.warsaw.us including my GPG and SSH public keys, and some of my non-computer related interests. Yeah, I do have a blog.
Ubuntu Development
I work a lot on various Python issues in Ubuntu, Debian, and upstream. I do other stuff too.
