How Start Programming In An Open Source Project?
I have a bachelor’s in Computer Science but have not used my programming knowledge/experience in the last couple of years. I want to re-sharpen my skills and think participating in some open source projects would help and be very interesting; but I really don’t know where to start.
– do I just find a project I want to help with? (where do I find one)
– is there a community for each project that I need to present myself to?
– if there is a project I’d like to help with, where do I begin?
– where can I help smaller projects and warm up?
I hope you get the gist of this question, any guidance would be GREATLY appreciated.
thanks,

You could design and create your own program. No need to have a boss breathing on your back.
