On the importance of communication
"So, contribute to an open source community! Communicate! Communicate by creating code, writing documentation, or perhaps just by making people chuckle. Communication makes you more engaged in the project, and more motivated to contribute, and more creative and productive as a result. You may also be pleasantly surprised by the feedback."
