Ask HN: How to find open source project to contribute

3 pointsnodivbyzero2 comments

Hello hackers,

I'd like to be involved in open source project as developer, but I don't know which one. I use C/C++ on my daily basis, try to write Go/Python scripts.

How did you choose your open-source project? There are some many of them...

By far the most important criteria: work on a project you actually use and care about. Don't arbitrarily pick a project because it looks interesting.

What software do you rely on regularly? What bugs you about it? What could it do better?

Have a look at Code Triage if you haven't already. http://www.codetriage.com/ - I believe I found them here in a thread a while back. You'll get an open issue for projects you'd be interested in contributing to sent to your inbox daily. May be of some interest to you
