    It hit me when you said, 'we all use open source programs', because, man, I use so many, not just the ones related to software development. I have used several 'paid for' programs over the years, but I would say the majority of programs I use ARE open source; whether that be audio programs, video editors, text editors, image editors, internet browsers, and on and on; I didn't really think about it until just now when I heard you say it. I was just about to get my feet wet with open source because, after months of learning and slowly building a portfolio, I was recently reminded that I'll need to learn how to work with 'others' on projects - so why not start with open source instead of waiting for a job (which might not happen any time soon) in order to develop that skill. Well, now you've given me additional motivation for getting involved with open-source; I use so much of it myself and owe a lot to this area.

    Hey @Eddie Jaoude, This video covers some important info, thanks for that. I had a couple of questions: (I'm COMPLETELY NEW to this space) 1) While finding the right open-source project to contribute to, how to check whether that community is active? I saw some 'good first issues' on some project that were raised few years ago (and still open) with some people showing interest, but that thread later either pointed to another issue or had no follow-ups, what does this mean? Do issues which get resolved, are marked closed, or they remain open? 2) If I want to contribute to a project, do I read and understand it's entire functionality and the huge code-base? Because most of the time the issues that are raised make no sense as I'm having no context. If your answer is no, then how I proceed to contribute to the issue? If yes, then how do I read the huge code-base? Do people who regularly contribute to multiple projects, read the code-base and documentation so that they can contribute forever (long-term) or for one specific issue? 3) If I find a new project and see the availability of 'good first issue', being completely new to the project, I'll take god knows how much time till I understand the project, won't the issue be solved till then? So I shall, pick and study a project and be prepared for upcoming issues, is that the strategy followed? If not, then what? 4) Do you remember your first contribution? How long did it take you to understand the code-base? How did you do it? I realize, this list elaborate. I'd be grateful if you can provide your inputs to whatever extent :) Thank you.

    Sorry @@gourangoghosh1076 and @Varun Gupta, I did not get notified about this thread. 1. finding repos can be hard and easy, look at your friend's and community's projects, this is a great place to start. But if you are more adventurous use "good first issue" anywhere on GitHub, but check the repo is still active 2. no you do not need to understand the project. It depends on the contribution you want to do. If you are new to a project, it is great to go through the documentation and see if it works and up to date - may of these documentation is missing some simple steps that experienced people over look. Contributions should be little and often, but each time add value. 3. ideally well written "good first issues" should have steps of what you need to do, this will guide you through getting started with the project. Another idea is what @Sam Varghese mentioned, we have many good issues from the community projects 4. my first contributions (well the first 10 probably 😂) where all fixing documentation, it is a great way to get started with a project I hope that helps. Any questions let us know
