Review This Little Duck

Sorry to say, but This Little Duck does not seem to have contributed enough to get listed on the marketplace. If there are other contributions that are not listed then please point to them. Until there are more visible contributions I don't believe this company should get listed.

Hi Alex,

I'm one of the founders/developers of This Little Duck... the other founder is James Gollan (http://drupal.org/user/18877). We want the company to be an active contributor and force for good in the Drupal community. The company is only months old but James and I have been participating in the Drupal community for longer than that.

Just to clarify your comment, are you saying that our individual contributions aren't enough for the company to get listed on the marketplace?

Hi @cossovich- I was going off of the combination of what is written on your marketplace preview page and within your individual trackers. Could you update your marketplace listing with more of the contributions you and your co-founder have made to the Drupal community? I'm happy to re-review, and if there aren't enough contributions yet, then I'm happy to give you some ideas of easy ways to get started contributing.

Thanks for your commitment to making your company an "active contributor and force for good in the Drupal community"!

Thanks Alex... to make things clearer I think we'll create our marketplace listing from one of our user accounts instead of the @ThisLittleDuck and start the process again.

What do you think are the best ways that we can improve our contributions to the community?

@cossovich, it doesn't really matter whether you use one of your own accounts, it was the two users that are listed on the marketplace listing that I checked. What I could see was some activity in the issue queue, but it was hard to see much contributions there. But... that could just be the sample of issues that I looked at (I went through about 10 per-user), so if you feel that you have been making contributions within the issue queues, please do add that to your listing.

With regards to how to improve your contributions to the community, I would say "it depends", since there are a ton of ways to get more involved. There's actually a book page that covers this on d.o.: http://drupal.org/getting-involved-guide

Some of the things that I personally did when Zivtech was starting and I was looking to get more involved:
- get involved in your local community. does your area have a Drupal meetup? If so, join in, if not, why not start one?
- find a module that you like and/or use a lot and ask the maintainer if you can help to maintain the module.
- write and edit documentation pages
- help out in IRC
- evangelize Drupal (talk about it at non-Drupal events)

Those are just a few of the many ways to get involved in the Drupal community. How you get involved though will really depend on what your specific skills are. If you'd like to chat with me one-on-one to see if I can help you think of ways to get involved that suite your skills, just let me know. Or... are you coming to DrupalCon Munich?

Thanks for the feedback Alex, we're already contributing in many of the ways that you mention but there's some new ideas there that we'd like to take on board. We've revised and created a new listing for the organisation and consequently there is a new issue dealing with the Marketplace listing: http://drupal.org/node/1689342.

The Drupal Association membership for the organisation has also been moved to @gollyg (http://drupal.org/user/18877) and we'll retire the ThisLittleDuck user account so that all D.O. interaction can occur through employee user accounts.
