I am confused by the title of this article. The phrase "you should think twice about it" means you shouldn't do it--i.e., if you think you should do it, you should think again. (I came here to angrily retort at you, haha.) But you are clearly pro open source. So the article should be titled "Why You Shouldn't Think Twice About Contributing to Open Source," or else "Why You Should Contribute to Open Source."

I agree, by the way. Not only is open source is a great way give something back to the community, but it helps you build networks with competent developers and it gets your work out there. It's totally worth the time.
