Now that the contest is over, and all the winners have been announced*, I wanted to take a moment to thank the administrators, mentors, task-suggestors, and everyone else who kept this running smoothly over the past few months.

As one of the students, I can't say how great it felt to know that, not only was I helping a project which I am using on a regular basis, but that there were people out there who genuinely wanted to help me get stuff done on Drupal, and were willing to work with me as I made a complete fool out of myself. :)

Thanks a lot guys, you rock!

_{and I can't be accused of trying to rig the Grand Prize decision :P (although seriously, congrats to corsix - you did a great job!)}

I have been attempting to begin contributing to some open source project for a couple of years and have never been able to get myself pumped about getting over the barrier that exists to start working. The GHOP contest provided me with an opportunity to start working with a project and have mentors help me along the way and ease the process of getting into the workings of Drupal. I now look forward to contributing for the foreseeable future. Not only that, but I was able to meet some great people through it all.

Thanks so much.
