Please consider adding Chocolate Lily to the Drupal service providers listed at http://drupal.org/services.
I'm a longtime Drupal contributor, maintaining many modules, and have contributed patches to numerous modules and core. See my profile.
At Chocolate Lily we are contributing back a lot of our work in the form of Debut features and other contributed modules as well as many improvements to others' modules. Most of my recent patch contribution - e.g., to Spaces, Context, Features - are part of our work. here is a partial list.
Below, and attached as a text file, is a draft of our page.
Thanks for taking the time to review this request. I'm happy to answer any questions and welcome suggestions for changes or additions.

Chocolate Lily: Web Projects for Social Change
Founded by longtime Drupal contributor Nedjo Rogers, Chocolate Lily Web Projects provides top-level Drupal website development skills and insights combined with extensive nonprofit management experience to create a service specially suited for the nonprofit and grassroots sector.
Our services range from complete website development to "tuning up" an already existing site. Our work is based exclusively in Drupal, and we are committed to encouraging the use of open source software within the nonprofit sector.
Complementing our services, our main project focus at Chocolate Lily is building a Drupal "distribution" for non-profits. Open Outreach provides an out of the box Drupal site with built-in features meeting the particular aims and needs of small NGOs looking for a highly usable site based on free software.
Our recent Drupal contributions include
- The growing set of Debut features, providing the building blocks of Open Outreach.
- The Features Override module.
What we are aiming to do with our work
- help groups be more in control of their web technology
- promote the use of open source software by groups to avoid the costly reliance on proprietary software
- through the development of a Drupal distribution—Open Outreach—enable groups to easily install and set up their own website with minimal outside assistance
Who do we work for
- non profits and NGOs
- co-operatives
- small, socially conscious enterprises
- informal activist groups
- groups working for social change
Recent clients include

greggles+1 from me for Nedjo. I've interacted with him in a variety of ways over the years and have always been impressed with his contributions to Drupal. His modules are an obvious contribution, but some of his less obvious/visible contributions: He helped write comprehensive guides about hosting drupalcamps, he's involved with the Drupal Association with advice on various topics and as a fill-in secretary when webchick can't attend, and he's presented at many camps.
