Geoffrey Thomas

Geoffrey Thomas is a software engineer with interests in operating systems infrastructure, security, and packaging. In his day job he has built countless Python packages from source in the course of importing them into internal build systems. He may be best known to the Python community indirectly as one of the authors of PEP 668, which broke sudo pip install (for good reasons, he promises). Geoffrey was also the co-creator of the initial support for writing Linux kernel modules in Rust and worked to get Rust support accepted in the mainline Linux kernel. Outside of software, he is active in his church choir and in local activism for streets and housing.
