Have to admit this makes me curious to know more about your contributions!
- a lot of trolls (Don't check I am a real troll);
- some actual freelancing jobs where I was pretty much a failure;
- took part in a website in a an uninteresting minor foreign language about free software;
- and I took part in some of obscure gatherings where people talked about free software like benjamin.
I am an average no one (you can actually check my background, I am a failure without any false modesty with ultra minor contributions, but I am not really ashamed). I am little bit excessive, but I can make people smile while talking about free software.
I have the weired idea however it does not matter.
I really don't think any open source programming language will accept my revolutionary idea that objects should follow the 17 rules of linear algebra (I swear I am convinced my idea is as brilliant as checking PRNG with Taken's series, or using L1 geometry instead of Euclidean while working with computers, and I swear I know I will fail and I am a bit crazy). I think I may be the member of the family you don't want to show to your neighbors/fiancée. But still I am part of the family :)
It's kind of cool, though. There is nothing wrong in not being successful or as fun as linus torvalds. I am pretty happy with it and I guess I am not alone in not feeling alone doing free software without being a star. Maybe like probably http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ROG5728 A gun nerd that cares the truth is said about the H&K P11.
I think the idea is more important than who you are.
Even though I am really no one, it is fun, and I like it... the way it is... I am pretty conservative. Sorry.
