PSF Officers for 2010

The 2010-2011 Board of Directors for the PSF has appointed officers to
oversee activities of the Foundation.

Returning Officers

Guido van Rossum returns as President of the PSF. As President, Guido
serves as the principal representative of the Foundation.

Steve Holden is Board Chair. He is responsible for organizing and
presiding over all Board meetings and keeping the Foundation focused
on fulfilling its mission.

Van Lindberg will serve as PyCon Chair again this year. Van manages
all of the activities related to running PyCon US, including
organizing the volunteer and paid efforts.

Most officers are volunteers from the community, but there are two
paid positions on the Board. The Secretary and Treasurer both require
regular and timely activity in order to keep up with their duties, so
nominal compensation is provided for these officers to make that
possible.

Pat Campbell is Secretary, and keeps all of the records of the
Foundation. She also prepares the minutes of the Board meetings and
delivers formal notices, for example before the start of official
voting periods.

Kurt Kaiser continues as Treasurer. Kurt manages the finances of the
PSF, receiving income and making payments. He reports the financial
status of the Foundation to the members regularly through the members'
mailing list.

New Roles

In addition to the traditional organizational roles, the Board is
working to identify other areas where focused attention is needed and
appoint officers to oversee them. Positions for overseeing
Membership, Voting, and other areas are planned but not yet filled.

As Communications Director, Doug Hellmann is responsible for
publishing information from the Board, with priority given to any
actions taken at Board meetings. He will also be helping to connect
other members of the community with information channels to publicize
the work they are doing.
