It's official: I'm a full-fledged contributor on Drupal.org. This just happened over the weekend, as my first project was formally approved.
The project is a rather simple theme (visual design) that I originally made for ACWA.org. I photographed a piece of letter stationary on my own desk at home, and turned it into a Drupal 7 theme. I originally submitted it almost a year ago, but got distracted with "real" work. Now I'm between jobs and had time to go back. I've done much more advanced work since then, and was tempted to submit a better project for approval. But I went back and put in the work out of a sense of professional pride. I don't give up and walk away from projects. A week and a half later, and I got it approved.
I've got another, much more advanced theme that I'm preparing to contribute, plus a few modules. I'll also be adding blog posts here based on some of the research I've done lately. 2013 is going to be a big year; stay tuned. :-)
