I'm generally more of a lurker than a poster, but I do openly contribute to the community with plenty of open source projects on github. I've also been technical blogging for 4 or 5 years on a variety of backend and frontend topics. I'm also the co-organizer of the Queen City PHP meetup group in Charlotte, NC. We speak on PHP or web development topics once a month in the greater Charlotte area. I occasionally speak at PHP conferences. I guess most importantly, I've been doing web development since the late nineties when I was in middle school. Web development and programming is my passion. Looking forward to contributing! I don't have many privileges on here yet, but you can find me on twitter @cballou. - C
