Barry has been working in, with, and on Python since 1994. He attended the
203+
first Python workshop at NBS (now `NIST <https://www.nist.gov/>`_) in
204+
Gaithersburg, MD in 1994, where he met Guido and several other early Python
205+
adopters. Barry subsequently worked with Guido for 8 years while at `CNRI
206+
<http://cnri.reston.va.us/>`_. From 2007 until 2017, Barry worked for
207+
`Canonical <https://www.canonical.com/>`_, corporate sponsor of `Ubuntu
208+
<https://www.ubuntu.com/>`_ Linux, primarily on the Python ecosystem, and
209+
is both an Ubuntu and a `Debian <http://www.debian.org/>`_ uploading
210+
developer. Barry has served as Python's postmaster, webmaster, release
211+
manager, Language Summit co-chair, `Jython <http://www.jython.org/>`_
212+
project leader, `GNU Mailman <http://www.list.org/>`_ project leader, and
213+
probably lots of other things he shouldn't admit to.
