Barry Warsaw

Hi. You've reached Barry Warsaw's very own vanity site, where I wax poetic about all kinds of useless stuff. Occasionally I blog here, here, and here.

I am the project leader of Mailman, the GNU Mailing List Manager. I work on Python, and I used to be lead maintainer for JPython, a 100% Pure Java implementation of the Python programming language, but I am no longer involved with that project. I also work on many other open source projects. Of course, I have a day job too.

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.

How to Reach Me

For Python and other open source questions, please use barry at python dot org.

My GPG and SSH Public Keys

Here are my SSH 2 public keys.

I have two OpenPGP keys that I generally use, an older v3 key and a newer v4 key. The new key is not signed by as many people as the v3 key, but since I've been experiencing more and more problems with my old v3 key, I'm transitioning to the new v4 key. Both keys are available on the public key servers. Use gpg --recv-keys EA5BBD71 ED9D77D5 to retrieve them both.
