Hi,
I think google can help you making the first steps. There are many
efforts to recruit new open source contributors.
You will find many documents like this:
http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/How_to_start_contributing_to_or_using_Open_Source_Software
or this
https://live.gnome.org/GnomeUniversity
or this
http://redmonk.com/dberkholz/2012/07/10/how-to-recruit-open-source-contributors/
But if you are as lazy as I am, you will just browse to you favourite
open source tool and begin evaluating the bugtracker.
Another way is to simply use your linux and the software on it. You WILL
find TONS of bugs, or missing features in it. Just implement and fix
them and then post your patches to upsteam! ;)
This is the way I do. :)
Happy coding! :D
