Just found this guide to open source contributions that looks pretty good: https://opensource.guide/how-to-contribute/
Section 4 is on finding projects to contribute to.
Thank you. This seems very helpful.
You can check goodfirstissue for anything that might pique your interest. That's where I started, and it helped a lot to get used to issue tracking systems.
Thanks, it's mentioned in the link that u/Sten gave me as well.
Best way is to use open source software yourself, and then when you encounter a bug, fix it. Looking for open source alternatives to stuff you currently use is easy.
I heard of a place called Coding Simpletons they have a group on arcane chat. They seem to have a foss philosophy you might want to check that out. Most open source groups stay on open source platforms Discord is a cool interface for chat but riddled with spyware & proprietary.
