I’m a final year CS student, and would like to start building experience programming. Contributing to a FOSS project seems like a good way to do so that aligns with my values.
My main holdup is that I want to work with people. I’d love an active dev community, with plenty of communication.
Does anyone have some recommendations?
reading recommendation: I want to contribute to your project, how do I start?
(essence is: look for things you already use/like or explore new things like a new window manager or what not. and then look for things that are missing and implement them or fix bugs you notice.)

I could list you lots of bugs I’d like to have fixed, but that wouldn’t help you when you can’t fix them.
You may start with the programming languages you know and with the Open Source applications you use in your day to day life.
What do you do when you don’t write software? What kind of software interests you the most?
There are also a few platforms out there allowing money to be made from contributions, called bug bounties. Bountysource may be the most popular, rysolv is an alternative.
