Hello,
We all recommend from time to time that folks pick some open source project that they are interested in and contribute to it in some way as a way to practice their
Java skills and gain some experience of working as part of a team. GitHub seems to be where all the cool kids hang out these days so I thought I'd have a look around and see if I could find something of interest that I could work with.
But... I don't really know how to go about it at all. Is there a place where I can see projects that are looking for help? Or do you just find one and just get stuck in with the hope that the project owners don't just tell you to get lost?
Does anyone have some experience with this sort of thing that they could share?
Thanks
Tim
