Amazing article! This is helpful in so many different ways!
That's a pretty big step to make if you've never done a pull request before. Good job!
But I want to point out that beginners don't need any kind of a special challenge to make pull requests. I keep saying that actually contributing to open source software is just a few steps long process:
1. Start using some open source program on a regular basis.
2. When you get familiar enough with how software works, switch to the latest (beta, nightly, daily, whatever) version.
3. Take a look at their repository and see the ways you can contribute to them.
4. Start contributing.
By following these short steps, I managed to merge my commits with projects such as reddit, elementary OS, Tor Browser, TextSecure, RedPhone and so on.
