The only rules are there are no rules. All we can hope is that everyone will "try" to play nicely. If you want to read some general rules you can live by when participating in online groups then a good launch point would be here:

Congratulations on your accomplishment. However, what you describe would only be a good grasp of *very* basic and very *generic* aspects of programming in general. There is much MUCH more to learn before you start authoring a resume to Google or jump head first into a large scale open source project.

Hold on just a minute! 

Before you decide to start participating in outside projects may we have a list of some of the software you've written for yourself? (With all due respect) I very seriously doubt that someone with only a "few months" of programming experience is ready for the real world.

Well how can we possibly know what "the next level" means to you when you failed to offer examples of your experience besides: "loops", "variables", "data structures", etc... Please provide a list of the types of programs you have written. Have you written any system tool? What about GUI applications? What about every programmers wet dream: THE WORLDS BEST TEXT EDITOR! What about libraries? Details, details!
