I like everything you've said about that.
I guess I want to be able to make a contribution which is actually a real thing used by real people, rather than a dead project somewhere in the corner so to speak. A good community surrounding it would be cool too - I wouldn't mind meeting some like minded and interesting people!
In honesty I don't really know what I want/what I would find interesting - that's why I'm looking for suggestions.
- Hermitian 14y agoIt is really hard to recommend a project to someone just because everyone have such diverse interest and passion. My only suggestion is to roam around the community until something tickles you inside. If you are not sure what you will find interesting may just because you haven't found a project you are passionate about. Frankly if that "dead project somewhere in the corner" is something that motivates you, you should choose that over the larger projects. Personally, my personality and preference are for smaller projects with a more intimate community. In the end of the day, (for me) it is much more about learning and doing something I love rather than doing something to go on a resume (or my lack of a resume. :P). So think about these questions: 1. What is your goal in doing this? (i.e. combinations of to learn, to have fun, to add to the resume, etc.) 2. What motivates sufficiently at 4AM in the morning?

- lucb1e 14y agoHow about software you personally use? There must be something that's opensource and contains a bug or misses a feature. Perhaps you could look at open tickets (the filezilla 'create new file on server' ticket was open for 4 years, lol).
