Giving a few thanks

It has been my experience that the most rewarding communities to work with are open source communities. When you give your time and expertise freely, not everyone may recognize the value that you’re bringing to the table, but enough do. There is no better way for a developer to build a reputation, which eventually converts into more business, and better positions and wages.

So I want to give many thanks to fellow open source authors for so generously giving the gift of their code. And thanks to all the great community members, such as all my Orchard friends, for making a point of giving back, in the form of code, documentation, discussions, translations, and simply reconnaissance.
