SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews. SaaSHub helps you find the best software and product alternatives
If you’re a developer, most likely you have encountered libraries, frameworks, or programming languages that are open source. In case you use packages from NPM in your projects, you can find on the package page the link to the project's source code. Take the example of the react-kawai package which points to the miukimiu/react-kawaii GitHub repository. Same works for Python packages from PyPI. Take as an example fastapi package that points to tiangolo/fastapi GitHub repository.

Now, I want to highlight that you may use a project in another role other than as a developer. For example, if you are using an end-user application (using a real-time chat app, like Zulip, to communicate with other people). You can still find the project source code repository, and contribute in many ways.
jogo-das-profissoes, a Portuguese web-based memory game for children to learn about different professions;
The way I got started with open source was via an initiative to incentivize people to contribute during December, 24 Pull Requests. I decided to make a first small contribution using Markdown, which you can check out at FrancesCoronel/hire-me/pull/9 on GitHub.
Sometimes you might also find repositories that contain only informational content, and some, in particular, will have a compilation of projects. For projects in the Portuguese community, there’s a nice collection of Portuguese open source projects at the OldMetalmind/PortugueseOpenSourceProjects GitHub repository.
Here are a few organizations that I saw on the organization list ranging in categories: LibreHealth, Postgres, NumFOCUS, Debian, Open Food Facts, and The Tor Project.
scala-exercises, website to learn how to code in Scala;
Some programming languages are developed in the open source community, where you can look up the source code, pull requests, and discussions around it. An example of this is Python language where you can see pull requests being merged into the source code.

Some websites aggregate open source projects or issues to make the process of finding projects to contribute easier. Some examples of these are Up For Grabs, CodeTriage, Ovio, etc…

For Hacktoberfest, you can find these projects mostly during October. Projects and issues participating will have the “Hacktoberfest” label. For 24 Pull Requests, you can find projects listed on the page while the program is active in December.
Another tool that can be useful to know, is the GitHub Explore feature that can highlight projects that can suit your skills. You can find projects grouped in collections or topics, or that are trending.
