Trying to get a few suggestions. I'm good with JS (React/Node) and Swift.

I've contributed to apple/swift and the Linux Kernel in the past, but testing the changes and building these projects might get frustrating sometimes. And to be honest I don't like C that much.

I have a few hours free per week and maybe someone here on hn might need some help on their oss/project.

I haven't contributed to some open-source projects in a while, but I know many friends who have heard contributed to many projects through 'Google Summer of Code': [0]

Sure, you don't have to only contribute via GSoC. You can also contribute directly to them in your spare time which is how some of the contributors (not all) have done before being core developers.

aren't you required to be a student for gsoc? Or you're saying just to pick something of that list?
Besides my own projects, the only one I've been contributing anything to lately is Apache River.
