Thanks for the continuing effort, Jesse, Van, and everyone!  This is
why Python is great and not just good.  I can't say thank you enough
to all the people that work so hard on tracker issues, documentation,
conferences, outreach, infrastructure, and all the pieces that make
Python more than just a good idea.  Not to discount the effort leading
up to the ideas, but the Python community realizes them through the
hard work of so many individuals willing to "sacrifice" for something
they love.

I've been following this list for a year and have not seen much
recognition, so it likely goes without saying (or I've just broken an
unwritten rule :), but sometimes it needs to be said out loud
regardless and sometimes loudly.  So thanks everyone!

[Python-Dev] speed.python.org machine online

I've posted a more expansive entry on my blog:
http://jessenoller.com/2011/06/29/announcing-the-new-speed-python-org-machine/

But the short version, that as discussed at the VM and language
summit, we now have a hosted machine dedicated to the running of
cross-interpreter speed tests, etc. The hardware was generously donate
by HP and the hosting provided, again, free, by OSU/OSL.

With hyperthreading on, the machine has 24 cores, and handily
translates pypy using cpython 2.7 in about half the time it typically
takes.

I am looking forward to handing this over to the team who will be
running with the project from here on out - special thanks to Van, Bob
Gobeille at HP and the entire OSU/OSL team.
