Barry Warsaw

Hi. You've reached Barry Warsaw's very own vanity site, where I wax poetic about all kinds of useless stuff. I supposed these days everyone must have a blog. Because I am old, I even have an old blog.

I am the project leader of Mailman, the GNU Mailing List Manager. I work on Python, and I used to be lead maintainer for Jython. I contribute to many other open source projects. My day job's at Canonical USA, and I love it. I'm a working (though amateur) musician and I've been playing Tai Chi (Yang style short form, sword, and sensing hands) since about 2002.

If you enjoy the free software that I develop, or the music I write and play, feel free to

IMPORTANT: if you are getting spammed by someone using Mailman, please do not contact me about it. I don't condone such uses of Mailman, but I cannot help you. While I am a developer of the program, Mailman is free software, which means I have no control over how people use Mailman, and probably do not even know when spammers abuse the program for their evil purposes. Here is more information about this.

My GPG and SSH Public Keys

Here are my SSH 2 public keys. (sha 256: 1eb98f22c6bca6239b1f9eb80f00003eb06b5ad5a4e253b647e4bd57a03b8549

I have three OpenPGP keys in general use. All are available on the public key servers. Use gpg --recv-keys A74B06BF EA5BBD71 ED9D77D5 or download them here. Please note that I've transitioned to the more secure key with key id A74B06BF, even though it isn't signed by as many people yet.
