How do I get started contributing to Open Source?

CuriousLearner commented 7 years ago

A lot of beginners struggle on how do they actually start contributing to any Open Source project.

Various questions I've heard over the years:

I am familiar with X, Y, Z language, which project should I contribute to?
How do I find bugs to work on?
I find it intimidating to look at those bugs.

This talk shall covers basics of Open Source and how do one can choose an organization/project to contribute to. I'll take Mozilla organization as a major example throughout to explain how do you find easy to fix bugs and what's next once you're done with easy fixes.

I'll try to share my experience working with other organizations and projects such as Oppia, CPython etc.
