As the title says, I aim to learn a couple of skills in 3 months, but nothing works because I don’t know what to do when I look at the open source. I have tried connecting with some contributors, but I want to leave everyone alone, so it has been challenging to learn anything from the projects. While I’ve been actively reading documentation, participating in community channels, and managing to address minor issues, I saw no technical and knowledge improvements at all. I understand it might take some time, but I still feel frustrated when I’ve put in the time and get little to nothing.

Should I be more forward and actively seeking help? Or am I looking in the wrong direction to learn from open-source projects?
