I should add to that second one that playing with some example you find to modify its action or output can be very helpful.
When you try to stretch the usage of the term "open source", you have to see that the key word is "open", open not meaning freedom to choose but open so that anyone can see the choices, the logic, and decision-making. Like the courage that it takes to open your source code, you should also have the courage to open eyes and ears to all the factors leading to various decisions, even the selfish or embarrassing ones. Failure to do this means you're using "open source" as a tag, but not with meaning.
