Ask HN: Where to Start Contributing OSS?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • nix

    Nix, the purely functional package manager

    My biased suggestion and would benefit from your C++ understanding is the Nix community (https://github.com/NixOS/nix).

    More frankly, “best” is very subjective and you should find a passion or topic or task you are already interested and use that to guide your decision.

  • hot
