I personally started getting involved to give something back to the open source
community in general. I realized that the only reason I am using all this great
software is because many developers have contributed many hours of their time to
make it possible. I'm not a developer myself, but we can all help out by helping
other people. I started by just answering newbie questions on desktop stuff, but
as I've learned more I am able to field more questions. I would look at the
bigger picture, because I know that everyone who uses open source gets
tremendous value out of it.
