I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.  I have a friend with a mac who is
interested in learning Python.  I'll let you know if I can rope him
in. ;-)

I'm most interested in doing whatever would be most helpful (and
within my abilities.)

For issues with existing patches the task is review and testing?

I just doubled checked that I can log in to the issue tracker with
sforman, please go ahead and add me to issues of interest.

Warm regards,

"The history of mankind for the last four centuries is rather like that of
an imprisoned sleeper, stirring clumsily and uneasily while the prison that
restrains and shelters him catches fire, not waking but incorporating the
crackling and warmth of the fire with ancient and incongruous dreams, than
like that of a man consciously awake to danger and opportunity."
