Best Open source projects to contribute to?

Click For Summary
For individuals seeking to enhance their programming portfolios through open source contributions, GitHub is highlighted as a primary platform for discovering projects. Notable suggestions include contributing to the Processing IDE, where developers can create tools, libraries, or plugins for various programming languages, including Java, JavaScript, and Python, with potential expansions into Scala, Groovy, Clojure, Kotlin, and Go. Another valuable resource is Rosettacode.org, which allows contributors to solve tasks in over 80 programming languages. Additionally, projects related to OpenCV and artificial intelligence are recommended due to their popularity and relevance in the tech industry.

Hi,

I'm looking for open source projects to contribute to to build my resume and computer programming portfolio to hopefully land a computer-related job. What are good open source projects that I can contribute to?

Have you checked github? or sourceforge?

Github is perhaps THE platform to look to.

Currently, they support Java, Javascript, Android Java and Jython/Python modes. It would be cool to have plugins for Scala, Groovy, Clojure, Kotlin or Go (not java-based but popular) which would allow folks to use Processing IDE to learn about these languages.

Another is Rosettacode.org where you contribute code to solve some task in one of the 80+ languages they are showcasing.

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
