Hi all!

I have just accepted an invitation to become a Python developer, so I feel obliged to introduce myself. My name is Žiga Seilnacht. I'm currently studying civil engineering at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Welcome aboard!

I started learning Python approximately two years ago, as my first computer language. I got involved with Python development a year ago, on the last bug day. My experience was much more pleasant than Michael Foord's; Georg checked in my first patch in under 30 minutes, and he had to fix my tests first :).

As a Python developer, I will continue to focus on bug triage, bug fixing and reviewing patches; I don't feel I'm qualified for language design.

Don't worry about it. You can still express your opinion as a user of Python. Language design is more about getting hit with some inspiration for something than being "qualified" for it.
