Ask HN: How to find open source project to contribute

3 pointsby nodivbyzeroover 9 years ago
Hello hackers,<p>I&#x27;d like to be involved in open source project as developer, but I don&#x27;t know which one. I use C&#x2F;C++ on my daily basis, try to write Go&#x2F;Python scripts.<p>How did you choose your open-source project? There are some many of them...

By far the <i>most</i> important criteria: work on a project you actually use and care about. Don&#x27;t arbitrarily pick a project because it looks interesting.<p>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&#x27;t already. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.codetriage.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.codetriage.com&#x2F;</a> - I believe I found them here in a thread a while back. You&#x27;ll get an open issue for projects you&#x27;d be interested in contributing to sent to your inbox daily. May be of some interest to you
