I spoke earlier today at the first-ever WordCamp Saratoga. Saratoga is a great town Upstate, my first time visiting. My talk centered around my experiences as a developer, spanning from moving to NYC in December 2006 to the present, where I am a WordPress core committer and developer. The main point, anyone can be involved as much or as little as they want, and I am proof that you can succeed just by sticking with it.
