I'm Brian Curtin and I've been going to meetings for a few years and
have presented a few times. My dad actually started going to meetings
a while before I joined up.

For a day job, I'm a developer at Canonical working on Ubuntu One,
mostly on the Windows client. I'm currently porting a bunch of our
stuff to Python 3, which is fun.

On the side, as a hobby, whatever you want to call it, I'm on the
board of directors at the Python Software Foundation. I do a bunch of
PSF activities, a lot of work on PyCon, and I'm a core CPython
developer.


Speaking of PyCon - you should register:
https://us.pycon.org/2013/registration/ - tickets are still in early
bird pricing so they're even more affordable than the already cheap
regular rate.
