I am a musician and composer. I play tenor and soprano saxophones.
Participating in the Open Source community and designing and building websites is a relatively recent interest - engaged mostly as a part-time volunteer - which has come about as a result of being asked to build websites by several musicians, small businesses and not-for-profit organisations.
A long, long time ago in a previous life, I was a programmer, working mostly in IBM /370 Assembler Language; PL/S; and C++. I designed and implemented part of IBM’s CICS Transaction Processing middleware, still running 40 years later. I have also developed audio applications on Mac OS X and IOS - so not much in common with the kind of programming required for Drupal where discovery of the API keeps on tripping me up.
I naively built several websites using Drupal and made a small financial donation from the fees I charged my clients. Best I can do until I have any technical thing worthwhile to contribute!
Whilst I have submitted a few patches; had a patch committed; filed a few bug reports; tried to clarify or simplify any documentation where it might possibly improve things; and participated in a documentation sprint for the Omega theme module, I don't yet feel I know my way around Drupal well enough - nor indeed, as a part-time web site designer, builder, systems administrator, do I realistically have the resources - to contribute as I would like to technically.
