I'm sort of in the same boat as you are. I've been trying to get my programming
skills up to speed so that I can make valuable contributions to OpenBSD
since I get so much value out of the OS. It has been educational to read
the tech@ and ports@ mailing lists to see what other more experienced
contributors are doing.

Also, check out the coding style(9) guide in the manual. And download
the source code and read the source for programs that you use often.
