How long has open source been part of your life?

Closing in on 10 years (Oct. 2013), so relatively new compared to others. Mainly in open source projects such as Joomla and eZ Publish, both CMS's, but also smaller projects. Details can be read in this months contributor spotlight.

The no-excuses guide to introducing yourself to a new open source project

Great post, thanks for sharing Mel!

Might I add that a forum can be a good place also, to introduce yourself. Especially when there are helpful and active moderators around. They can be an excellent guide also. As a former moderator myself, I always tried to welcome new members, provide them with resources, guide them and by doing so help them introduce to the project I was active in.
