Tim 'mithro' Ansell is a long time open source contributor. Originally getting into FOSS to make cool computer games, he quickly found and fell in love with the language Python. Tim loved the language so much he would eventually go on to start a conference dedicated to the topic called PyCon AU.

Tim's current efforts concentrate around trying to make recording and live streaming of user groups and conferences (such as PyCon AU) cheap and easy to do. This has amazingly required the development of custom open hardware and a huge amount of Python to make it happen.
