You may remember that back in February, Drupal announced that Peter Cawley (Corsix) was chosen as the Google Highly Open Participation (GHOP) winner for the Drupal project. It turns out that finding a time when the 10 grand prize winners, their parents, and a mentor from each of the 10 participating open source projects were all free was not easy, but we finally got together this week for the official awards ceremony.

I want to thank everyone who contributed to my DrupalCon 2008 ChipIn. I've now met my goal and will definitely be at DrupalCon.

If you're looking for a worthy individual to contribute to, I recommend that you take a look at the work that Jimmy Berry has done. He's a new Drupal contributor and one of our great GHOP students. As one of his GHOP tasks he created a VersionControl API backend for the Git revision control system. This is some pretty impressive stuff for someone who had never used Git before. Check out Webchick's post about Jimmy and how you can help get him to DrupalCon.
