I just graduated from university and I'm looking to improve my Java skills. What are the best ways to locate open source projects? Once I find something, how do I figure out what I can contribute to?

Check out GitHub! You can filter projects by programming language like Java. Take a look at open issues—those are tasks that need to be fixed. Start by picking one and submit a pull request when you think you've fixed it. It’s a great way to learn and contribute!
I never really worked on open source during uni; I mainly focused on personal projects and theoretical stuff for my coursework. I graduated with good grades but I now realize I should've explored more practical work! Do people actually want juniors like me contributing?
