Neil Drumm (drumm) has been an active contributor to Drupal for over 7 years. He has attended every DrupalCon, often as a presenter. Besides contributing to many Drupal modules and other projects, Neil can be found working as:

Lead architect for drupal.org, hired by the Drupal Association

In addition, Neil is whip-smart and great to work with. He has a lot of friends and fans in the Drupal community (he even has a Twitter-based impersonator)!

Ariane Khachatourians

Ariane Khachatourians (arianek) is a tireless contributor and maintainer of the Drupal.org documentation. She's the single most active person in setting the direction for the Documentation, and by far one of the biggest contributors. Take a look at her tracker to see where she's been lately.

She is...

Co-Lead for the Drupal Docs Team
Admin for the Vancouver User Group and Drupalchix
Hugely involved in the Drupal core issue queue and was at one point the 27th highest D7 patch contributor

And to top it off, a really nice person who just keeps working to make Drupaldom a better and happier place. And who is succeeding at that.

Meet Adrian Rossouw, father of Hostmaster/Aegir & phptemplate, and uncle to many others. He works at Development Seed. He's massively talented, and in this nominator's opinion, inspiring and awesome. Certainly worthy of a Community Spotlight :)

I think Adrian embodies the new Drupal.org motto: come for the code, stay for the community.

Henrik Danielsson (TwoD)

He may not be known to everyone yet. Henrik Danielsson (TwoD) suddenly appeared out of nowhere approximately 18 months ago and started to post a couple of pretty solid patches to Wysiwyg module's queue. In case you do not know the Wysiwyg module yet: It allows you to integrate any kind of client-side content editor (WYSIWYG) with Drupal by building a communication layer between Drupal forms and the actual editor(s). Thus, working on the project requires a solid knowledge and highly advanced expertise of Drupal's Form API, Filter API, JavaScript, and lastly every individual editor library.

Hi, I'm Isaac Sukin, and I'm posting here because I hope that the story of how I got involved with Drupal can encourage others to get involved as well.
