OpenXTalk-Community-DPE VS good-first-issue

It seems they had a GPL version, however they recently discontinued it; a fork of this IIUC seems to be now maintained by a community at: https://github.com/OpenXTalk-org/OpenXTalk-Community-DPE

You can fork OpenXTalk, clone to your machine, then download all the necessary things and try to build it, document what you had to do to overcome the obstacles you faced. If you can build it, then you can go to openxtalk.org and say I did it! Slap that on your resume.

Now the OpenXTalk community are picking up the pieces. The GPLv3 Source code can be forked on Github

First Contributions, EddieHub Issue Finder, goodfirstissue.dev, goodfirstissues.com, firsttimersonly.com.

https://goodfirstissue.dev might be a great place to check :)

Another source is mentor feedback, somebody who tells you he thinks you can do it, some projects seem more open to new contributors, search good first issue, if you will open an issue saying you are willing to commit to say 1-2h a week for a year i believe you will get help.

Good First Issue

Good First Issue website curates the issues with good first issue tag from various open-source projects and displays them with a nice and clean UI.

If that doesn't work, get on https://socialcoder.org/Home/Index or contribute to an open source project - https://goodfirstissue.dev/.

You can also use websites like up-for-grabs, goodfirstissue, or CodeTriage to find projects with open issues. Find one that looks easy or interesting to you and comment on it, asking if you can take a shot at it.
