Want to work in projects. No need to get paid

[Joao S. Ferreira]

Hello,

I'm looking for a part time remote job/project in order to keep working and learning more about Java programming. I have some basic skills in Java, Java-FX, HTML, PHP and MySQL, and I'm starting to get prepared to take OCAJ 8 exam.
At the same time, I work as system tester for a Software defined networking project in a multinational company (For almost 1 year).

If interested please contact me and if needed I will send my CV.

Best Regards

Start by searching for open source projects which require help. Other users of the website will doubtless have better suggestions than me.

I understand that open source projects would be the better way, but the problem is that I'm in a basic Java level and when I'm searching for open source projects for example in apache community, I do not feel confortable to choose one project. And that is because probably I do not understand to what and how I could contribute to it.

Hello,

Thank you for the help.

I visited all the links and as I mentioned before I still have the same problem. I don't know which project to choose. The problem is that all the links say "go for one project that you used". Humm ok but if I didn't use any framework that I'm interested too contribute?
Then I went through all frameworks and projects but still can't decide because I don't know if I would like to work for that project.

So the reason I wrote this topic was to know if someone here is participating or have one project and need help in that project.

I know that this all seems probably stupid but I'm very confused to what to do now.

Best regards

How much programming experience do you have?
We cannot tell you which project to try; you will have to make up your mind. Go through the contacts page of one of them and see what they have to say.

I'm not a low level begginer, but I feel like a begginer.  Although I'm programming java at work,  i just do basic programs for testing and I use APIs that developers developed for testing.

I really understand what you said,  because this choice just could be done by me. You can't decide what projects fits me.
When i started this topic my intention was to receive some info about projects that people here in forum participate and maybe projects that they have and need some help.

Not sure if you'd be interested but how would you feel about working on machine-learning for animals in a game?

[Joao S. Ferreira]

I think that if we should talk about it, and then I could give you my opinion/interest in that project.
