Ask anyone involved with Drupal Commerce, or Drupal itself what the single greatest thing that keeps them working with the software, and they'll likely say: "THE COMMUNITY". The Drupal Project has thrived because it's built on the backs of a huge community of developers, site builders and users who are all passionate about improving the software the use daily to make a living. The community values and fosters a culture of contribution, where everyone who uses Drupal has an opportunity to pay help out and give back.

...And while no one contribution is valued any greater (or less than) any other, we're taking this opportunity to highlight some exceptional work, presented here in our Community Spotlight

Contributor Spotlight: Josh Taylor

Say hi. (who are you and what do you do in the Commerce ecosystem)

Hello! I'm Josh Taylor, a PHP Developer living in Melbourne, Australia who focuses on Drupal 7/8 and Symfony2 projects. I've been involved with helping Commerce 2.x in my spare time (not as much lately due to time constraints) to help make it the go-to eCommerce platform for users.

How did you get involved with contributing to Drupal Commerce?

benjy (Ben Dougherty) mentioned that Drupal Commerce was in the planning phase. I got really excited and checked it out, and started to contribute back small fixes with the help of bojanz (Bojan Zivanovic). Then I just kept going - I hope to contribute more back in 2016 when I have more time, especially as clients start to move onto Drupal 8.

Contributor Spotlight: Erik Peterson

Say hi. (who are you and what do you do in the Commerce ecosystem)

Hi! My name is Erik Peterson, aka torgosPizza, and I’m the “web guy” at RiffTrax.com, a web-based spinoff of the cult TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000. We’ve been making movies funny since 2006, and I help make that possible by maintaining the website and making sure our customers are able to get their downloads. I’m a self-taught developer with a BFA in Graphic Design, a proud Commerce contributor, and have been working with Drupal for over 8 years. Our site relies very heavily on Commerce, and so that’s where I spend the majority of my time in the issue queue!

Say hi. (who are you and what do you do in the Commerce ecosystem)

I am just a random guy who contributed a little time, effort and work in the issue queue.

How did you get involved with contributing to Drupal Commerce?

I got interested in Drupal some years ago when I grew tired of maintaining my own little systems for different websites. I created a site both for my workplace (vih.dk) and for my little frisbee shop (discimport.dk). I thought Commerce Kickstart was a very cool starting place for creating a shop. The 2.x branch just started to take place, so it had a couple of hiccups at the alpha and beta-stage. I started reporting issues in the issue queue - and had a very good response for especially bojanz every time.
