I'd add: (3) Look at https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/ and see if you can find anything you'd like to work on. If you do, propose a patch or ask a question there without hesitation. (4) If you are interested/willing, you can setup a machine (or a VM) running FreeBSD. (Not directly related to programming but this can give you a good idea of how FreeBSD works.) Thank you for your interest in FreeBSD!
