How to participate in OpenSource projects and where?

Question

Programming

I figured out with git, I have been looking at various projects on github for a long time, I even optimized the filter for one big game (mtg forge) (added limit). But what's next? Around everyone is working in some projects, but how to participate in them, for example, they are making a program, and you need to issue some kind of widget or something else, unfortunately with English it’s bad, like with “Russian” and therefore nothing don't really understand. Well, I think there are quite a few Russian projects, who knows, they are interested in JAVA, JavaScript, nodeJS

Answer 1

"Russian" projects, I think, are also accompanied in English, because GitHub is an international platform. I would advise at least to sit with Google Translate if the language is bad. It will take a long time, yes, but without a tongue you won’t get anywhere. Go ahead and good luck!

Answer 2

learned git? wow! - learn the magic word commit...
the specifics of the open source - you choose a project you like, find something to improve in it [bingo!] - and commit .. if the commit is accepted - your idea is approved [by the project community .. or its leaders]
ps and with rare exceptions, all selflessness in open source is free of charge, that is, for free, that is, no one will pay
pps at school, at the university - you are given limits, and driven into them .. (parents?) ... in life [after] everything is already more insidious ... but in open school - here, in principle, no one, no one, no where, by the scruff of the neck it doesn’t drag - everything stands precisely on the inner impulse of the participant - light up the project - and learn the language without noticing how time has flown by, no ... no, no there, no here, no ..
there are, of course, generously sponsored open source projects ... but you need to grow up to them in terms of skills
