What open source software do you like? I think the best would be to pick a small software with 1-5 core developers.
Go to the mailinglist of the project and say that you want to help. Describe your present ability and ask for suggestion about how you could best contribute code to the software.
A lot of open source projects are happy to welcome new developers. Senior programmers at the project will review your code and tell you if it’s bad.
In case some open source project isn’t happy to welcome you, move to the next project.
