Victor Stinner: Contact Me¶
I am paid by Red Hat to maintain Python upstream and downstream (RHEL, CentOS, Fedora & Software collections). They also cover the cost of travels to Pycon US and EuroPython: meeting people is as important if not more than code. My contributions to Python.

Awards¶
In October 2017, Gregory P. Smith of Google nominated me for a Google Open Source Peer Bonus for my work on CPython
In April 2016, the OpenStack project nominated me for the The Infinite Rebase Shield Award for my work on porting OpenStack to Python 3:
In the face of endless rebases, Stinner has tirelessly pushed OpenStack toward Python 3. I get the impression that it has been hard at times to get the necessary reviews for his Python 3 porting work; especially for the projects he’s not well known on, and I hate to see him discouraged. We’re lucky to have such a prolific expert leading the Python 3 porting effort for OpenStack, and I’d like him to know that his work is appreciated.
In August 2015, I got a PSF Community Service Award for my work on CPython
