Being allowed to make it my own, to make it “better”, to collaborate, to be human, is what makes me passionate about open source and free culture.
This bug was pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. Probably not many people had ever run into it. But after hours of puzzling over those broken image tags, it felt darned good to find it, and — more importantly — squash it. And after the release of WordPress 3.0, nobody will have to scratch their heads over it again. Yay me!

Lloyd, what an inspiring description of open source community and collaboration. Being a small part of something a lot bigger than you is indeed awesome. We are honored to be a part of that type of community.
BTW, appreciate your insight and time at SXSW.
We’re all small parts
Synergy is another reason I love being part of it.
Meeting you and your team at SxSW was a highlight for me.
