Can anyone tell me how I can begin my great journey of contributing to the glorious open source community?

Great advice… Hacktoberfest is probably the best time to start.
I also recommend the following:

• pick an open-source project based on the language or framework you’re familiar with and interested in. It will make your life easier.
• find a mentor, collaborator or advisor, it makes the process a whole lot easier and fun.
• get a grasp for the best practices via reading the docs or watch documentations.

follow Jamel advice

@b4oshany

get the app running, add your fix, run your tests, submit the PR and then it’s just waiting for fo the approval

To get started, here are things you will need to get familiar with and setup:

• Git (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkUdhyuRHws)
• Github (https://try.github.io/)
• The environment for the language or framework

Also, does JAD have any open source projects?
