Getting Involved in Open Source Development

SkyEyeSkyEye Registered User regular
I have some free time on my hands and heard that a way to get real world programming experience is on an open-source project. I really don't know where to start on this though; how to choose a project that's at my skill level, that sort of stuff. I thought I had a good grasp of C/C++, but I had so much trouble trying to parse code/documentation that wasn't my own that any time I needed to make use of others' work in university it turned out to be a disaster. Any tips on where to start?

    I think a lot of Linux Distros have bug repositories that you can look into fixing stuff that way if you want to get your feet wet.

    Thanks guys. I've been looking into sourceforge since a lot of the open source software I'm currently using comes from there, but I'll start here.
