<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi Tammie and Greg,<br><br></div>Thanks for sharing. Yes, I too have small theme shop (Catch Themes). We have been contributing by reviewing themes, contributing free themes, speaking at WordCamp and co-organizing WordCamp, Nepal. It's great pleasure to help community and contribute to WordPress. I am so thankful to WordPress Foundation and all the people contributing to WordPress. <br><br></div><div>Hope to see you all at #WCSF 2014.<br><br></div><div>Thanks a lot.<br><br>Regards,<br>Sakin<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 1, 2014 at 6:56 PM, Tammie Lister <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:karmatosed@gmail.com" target="_blank">karmatosed@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Thomas,<div><br></div><div>I was freelance for a while. The way I did it was take half a day a week and do some form of contribution. Imagine taking a Sunday morning or afternoon. Maybe a Friday (so little gets done on a Friday). Every little bit like this you take adds up. Maybe with your size it's only an hour a week.

Every hour counts! I am of the same belief that every theme shop no matter what size can and should devote 5% of it's resources. It not only helps themes, helps maintain the universe you live in and get revenue from, but it also means you keep fresh with the standards.</div><div><br></div><div>I also would take it further and say you shouldn't submit a theme without also reviewing one. Think of it like theme karma :) I know this is my own personal belief though, sometimes people like to get there different routes.</div><div><br></div><div>I look forward to a day where I see many more theme shops contributing people. To that point, if you are a theme shop and you are contributing people, shout about it!
