Python Consortium Announcement

[Guido van Rossum]

The Python Consortium is officially launched today.  As proposed at
the Python Conference last year in Houston, several big Python players
are joining forces to further and promote Python and JPython
development.  Current members of the Python Consortium are:

    Full members:
	Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
	Hewlett-Packard

    Associate members:
	Digital Creations
	Interet Corporation
	Foretec Seminars

For more information about the consortium, see the Python Consortium
webpage on Python website: http://www.python.org/consortium/.  We
issued a press release which you can find at 
http://www.python.org/consortium/press1.html.

If you are currently a corporate PSA member, consider joining the
consortium instead.  More power to Python!
