Well, welcome to OSS. You're in it, apart of the team, and very much so a contributing member. Very good first question.

Never think you're not apart of this, we all have our places even in doubt. KEEP PUSHING.

Do not stick to your own, branch out and keep asking questions while learning on your own... this is how I've kept up with the times and new topics, while absorbing as much knowledge as possible.

If you feel doubt, it's "normal". We are in this together, never feel like you're on your own with your journey. We all NEED side quests, these may lead into your main storyline.

Do your own thing, and incorporate other opinions as ideas, you will realize that you're apart of team that you may not have known existed.

Keep contributing to projects that effect yours and ultimately everyone using it. This alone has allowed my personal/private projects to progress more than my professional ones... by a long shot.

You are an OSS developer here, we all want to help each other, we will strive with your questions and knowledge. Keep it coming.
