Hi all, I get a lot of free time during my everyday job which I usually waste by watching Youtube. I was just wondering if contribution to open source would be a good idea to work on something serious and hence learn new things/build up my profile. If yes, what are some of the good open source projects to begin with. I am majorly looking to contribute to a project based on Python.
Linux kernel?
Check out the list of organisations from Google Summer of Code, they have numerous orgs which have numerous open source projects. You can narrow down the projects based on your interest and skill sets.
Yep, github and sourceforge are good places to start.
