How could I know wether I am ready to join an Open Source proyect?

I at least have a good handle on programming basics, but as a newbie eager to learn more, I wonder when will be the right time to join an Open Source proyect. It would seem as an excellent way to improve my skills and give back to my community, but I have no parameter to measure when I will be mature enough, as a programmer, to join a Proyect (which is of course no beginning-level program). I don’t want to waste the time of advanced programmers with my lack of skills but I want to learn from them, as I recognize that as the best way to become one of them some day. How do I overcome such a dilema?
