Just to make it clear, of course your background makes a difference. 
That decides what kind of tasks we can assign to you and what kind of 
tasks we can expect you to deliver.

However, it's the social aspect of a community where you need to build 
trust and confidence. In this respect all new contributors are on the 
same line and do need to go through the same processes. This combined 
with the fact that all kinds of skills are needed on the team keeps 
everybody equal, whatever their background -- and that's something for 
the open source projects to celebrate.
