At 4 Drupal years old, I finally join the Drupal Association. Thank You Drupal Peoples! :)

Prompted by my Chris Bryant's blog post, Giving Back and Contributing to Drupal and Other Open Source Projects, I finally clicked the link on my Drupal profile to become a Drupal Association member. I noticed my profile's life was just over 3 years and I knew that wasn't right... I went for a password reset on an old email address and low and behold, rsteiner125 is the old me at the ripe old age of 4 years and 16 weeks! The user id on that account is #109263, and the rjstatic account I created a year later is #238054. The community DOUBLED in size the year I joined! Obviously, thanks to me ;). So what was I up to in my infancy year other than making the Garland theme look ugly? Apparently making money and Facebook apps.

The past four years have been absolutely wonderful and it's all thanks to the Drupal community. Thanks to all those working so hard at making Drupal even more fun to work with every day. And congratulations to Jacine who Dries announced yesterday will be leading the HTML5 Drupal 8 Initiative! It's such a pleasure to be working with a team like Gravitek Labs who have a great respect and understanding of what open source really means. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again at DrupalCon London this coming August! See you there!
