-
-Core developers
----------------
-
-These are the folks who have a long history of contributions, a solid track
-record of being helpful on the mailing lists, and a proven desire to dedicate
-serious time to Django. In return, they've been granted the coveted commit bit,
-and have free rein to hack on all parts of Django.
-

-    Bryan found Django 0.96 through a fellow designer who was evangelizing
-    its use. It was his first foray outside of the land that was PHP-based
-    templating. Although he has only ever used Django for personal projects,
-    it is the very reason he considers himself a designer/developer
-    hybrid and is working to further design within the Django community.

-    Erik started using Django in the days of 1.2. His largest contribution to Django was
-    ``GenericIPAddressField``, and he has worked on all sorts of patches since.
-    While developing with Django, he always keeps a little list of even the slightest
-    Django frustrations, to tackle them at a later time and prevent other developers
-    from having to deal with the same issues.
-
-    Erik is an independent app maker, mostly developing web and mobile apps, as
-    `Solid Links`_. He also enjoys helping ordinary developers to build safer web apps,
