I opened my github stars looking for projects that have some networking in them. These are some:

  • storj: a decentralized cloud storage network (in Go)
  • home assistant: open source home automation (in Python)
  • nsq: a realtime distributed messaging platform (in Go)
  • toxiproxy: tcp proxy simulating chaos (in Go)

You could also search GitHub Explore by tags like networking or checkout lists like awesome-sysadmin

Are you familiar with contributing to open source projects at all?

I was recently advised to practice doing "pull requests" and such with good etiquette and skill by simply fixing typographical errors in README.md files.

Thanks for your reply Katie.
No, i'am not familiar with that and this a good a way to start and practice git with README.md files.

Check out "An (even more) practical guide to open source contribution" -- you can see the author give the "try just editing a Readme" part of the talk he's referencing starting at 26:50 on this YouTube video -- the real meat of what he's introducing goes through 28:44.
