Looking to contribute to a Rails project

Community Ruby Jobs

Hello! I started programming full time (50+ hrs a week) around 6 months ago, teaching myself the basics of computer science and software engineering. My main focus has been Ruby / Rails HTML and CSS. I also really enjoy working with databases. I am currently trying to get some experience working with commercial applications or open source projects. I have time to devote and am really looking to learn more! Does anyone know of any good open source Rails projects that I could contribute to? I am proficient with version control using Git / Github.

If anyone knows of any projects I could contribute to I would be much obliged!

OpenStreetMap also uses RoR as its open-source website. You can take a look here: GitHub - openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website: The Rails application that powers OpenStreetMap
