I have a bachelor’s in Computer Science but have not used my programming knowledge/experience in the last couple of years. I want to re-sharpen my skills and think participating in some open source projects would help and be very interesting; but I really don’t know where to start.

– do I just find a project I want to help with? (where do I find one)
– is there a community for each project that I need to present myself to?
– if there is a project I’d like to help with, where do I begin?
– where can I help smaller projects and warm up?

I hope you get the gist of this question, any guidance would be GREATLY appreciated.

thanks,
-Nico

I’m thinking in terms of a programmer in India working on part of a project and another in the US working on the same project, how do they piece or join the code they have worked with together? How do they ensure that they follow similar programming guidelines?

I have recently begun programming with Liberty BASIC and want to help on an open source project using any kind of BASIC. Any suggestions?

what is the procedure to become a part of open source projects?
what is the expected pre-requisite to become a part of it?

I am a 16 year old that is trying to make a name for myself through open source. Obviously, this won’t happen overnight. I was wondering if you guys could help me start by suggesting some open source project that I can join with instructions how.
Thank you so much

I am trying to learn better design techniques, partly read the GoF book on design patterns, and I am looking forward to understanding these concepts better. Everyone has told me that open source projects are beneficial in trying to learn these patterns. My question is, how can I get UML/other design diagrams from these projects? (I don’t see them anywhere in the code repository, if you do, paste a link). Thanks
