Thanks for sharing. As I read through your post I felt like this is just the introductions, as now I just have more questions :)
My biggest issue is that I don't know where to look for a mentor. Although I've been working as a professional developer for quite some time now, I felt like I need a mentor for quite a while now. Yet, I have no idea where to look.
The type of mentor I'm looking for is a bit more ambiguous, I think. As I'm trying to get into open source, I feel like this black box is terrible to deal with alone. Some guidance (mostly technical) would be just the Kickstart I'd need.
Yet, I can't stop asking myself who would provide me with such an "experience" we call mentoring,for free?
I always thought that getting into Open Source is just to find right project and start tackling down issues one by one.
"If you use, i.e. RawRabbit, then go read reported issues.
You have no idea how to start? No problem. Talk to others. Tell them that you would like to help. They'll help you!"
That is what I was told.

Yeah, getting into Open Source is hard the first time. Even if you are a experienced Developer.
