Malcolm Tredinnick

    Malcolm originally wanted to be a mathematician and somehow ended up a

    software developer. He contributed to many Open Source projects, served on

    the board of the GNOME foundation, and was a great chess player.

    Malcolm was deeply involved in many part of Django - most notably, the

    ORM, but many other internals bear his fingerprints. Django’s support for

    unicode and autoescaping in templates can both be almost entirely

    attributed to Malcolm.
