I am not a rockstar either but I've worked in a small team and delivered a few successful projects. First, you need to find something which interests you. I am not on nerd level, so i never created projects like compilers or other heavy programming stuff. But more like products which help people automate business tasks. Most GitHub projects have a page on how to contribute so you can follow that. Take a look at github issues and see how people communicate and work together. Other than this, i am also looking to develop an Opensource project, see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18607244 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18607244 It includes most of the things that a person will end up doing at a startup (SaaS focused)
