Back when I discovered CakePHP I was just a print designer trying to become a web developer. I was so thankful for the work of the CakePHP foundation that I felt really bad for not being able to contribute back (I had no money, and no real programming skills).
So, when they called out for help to design their official website I jumped in and they gave me the opportunity to contribute with my design.
As a happy side effect, that design gave me a lot of exposition so I could finally left my dayjob as a print designer and start my career as a freelance web dev. It's fair to say that the link on CakePHP's footer brought food to my table for 4+ years.
