Introducing myself to the team

Hello list,

just a quick Hello World and to introduce myself. I'm Vladimir Krstulja, 
some of you know me from Bugzilla which I help triage, and from 
IRC/Freenode as blackflow :)

I'm a python programmer, I co-develop a rather large SaaS thing in my 
country (Croatia) which is built in Python and run on a heterogenous 
Debian + FreeBSD platform but we're moving it all to FreeBSD, and my 
interest is in improving the "Python experience" on FreeBSD by helping 
as much as I can.

One of the projects I'm starting is a continuous Poudriere build of all 
things that USES= python, but for py35, in order to identify build 
failures for ports that declare all python versions but aren't really 
building with 3.x, or ports that limit themselves to 2.x but shouldn't 
really.

I'm already dogfooding this, we run the SaaS with DEFAULT_VERSIONS= 
python=3 python3=3.5 and our (admittedly limited) use case supports it 
just fine. Python, uwsgi, nginx, PostgreSQL, Sphinx, etc...

I'm hoping this will help speed up bringing Python 3.x default to 
FreeBSD.
