Getting more involved with one of the BSD projects is perhaps the best
next step to take.  I'd encourage spending a fair amount of time
learning about the project's 'metadata' (makefiles, source tree layouts,
source updating and mailing lists).

Your knowledge of how to navigate the source code and other project
resources will amplify the benefits of your interactions with other BSD
developers.

BSD lives on the net, not in a library  ;-)
