What is the path of knowledge from Novice to committer, In FreeBSD?

[Vishal Kashyap]

Respected Sir,
*I am MCA(Master Of Computer Application) Student from India,Asia *and much
intrested about UNIX or UNIX-like OS. As per my knowledge, in FreeBSD; there
are

*Volunteers(For Questioning) --> Contributers --> Committers*
*
1] To be VOLUNTEER
2] After That; To Be Contributer
3] After That; To Be a Committer.
*
So, please guide me sir, about the above path (iff, it is correct) i.e. how
could i cover above path? I mean to say, how could I develop my Knowlwdge in
FreeBSD to follow above path.
Please, guide me with any thing you think better for me(books,web links,any
thing). I've average knowledge of UNIX. And, right now; I am studying
FreeBSD on Vmware Workstation.
