Should I Join Open Source Teams?

I have been a user for more than 14 years of Open Source products. I even hosted Eric Raymond at Naperville, when I worked at Lucent Technologies. But so far there is nothing I have given back to the community. My son is more responsible, when he uses BitTorrent, he leaves the connection open for others to use. I have been stinky.

I plan to change that, I am starting Sugar Labs., Chilpancingo.
