-The software used in our field is typically very open, but also very specialised and often requires a reasonable level of domain knowledge to contribute to. Be mindful that when trying to contribute as a newcomer you are most likely asking for quite some time and effort of the maintainers. The maintainers who do have the time and inclination to mentor will very often come forward and propose a project idea, so if you don't know where to start, we recommend to wait and apply to an interesting project idea on the webpage. That said, all projects value quality contributions and some may have a GitHub presence with issues marked "good first issue" or a contributor's guide. Also take a look at past editions of the programme to see what projects could be interesting for you.
