It took a little while for the paperwork to go through, but today my apache.org account was set up, and I committed my first changes to the APR.
Its kind of cool being a part of something like that, I've thought the project was an important one for some time, and I'm happy to have the chance to contribute directly to it. Now I'm just hoping to not let down the people who decided I was worth giving commit access to. I figure the first "oh my $DIETY, you committed what!?!?! there are so many things wrong with that commit that I can't even begin to count them" email should show up any time now...
Plus, I must admit, the apache.org email address is pretty cool ;-)
