Ask HN: How to find Open Source projects to contribute to?

1 points by deyouz 6y ago ↗ HN

Hello, HN! I'm a student and I want to do something productive with my free time.

I would like to contribute to some Open Source projects, since it seems like a good learning experience.

Do you know any such projects? Or do you know where I could find them?

Thank you!

GitHub?

Thanks, I will look into it. I thought Github was only a place to host personal code or company code restricted to employees.

It's the defacto "social network" for code, tons and tons of open source and community

Just browse around GitHub, Gitlab, Sourceforge, Savannah, etc., until you find something that looks interesting.
