I haven't done much yet. I'm drafting a blog post about it with link to what I've done previously. I need to look for project to I can contribute to.
I also need to determine if I can maintain a project this year. I did one last year but had to go off line a bit. When I can back I had been spammed by people that ignored my guidelines.
Maybe I just need to update those guidelines and say I'm only available certain times.
Maybe you can do that as a separate README file for Hacktoberfest @jarvisscript?
Maybe I had a contributor's guide based on Virtual Coffee's guidelines they have a full post about how to prepare. I'll make some update.

Completely newbie regarding open source.. I'm preparing my self with YouTube videos and dev.to posts as well.
That’s a good start @arturobatistute, but I highly recommend putting this knowledge into practice too! 😊Here are some beginner-friendly repository you can contribute to:
I'm going to take a look! Thanks a lot Christine!
We're planning to participate as a company (Infield) for the first time, and super excited.
Congratulations @allieoopz! :)
I don't know that I have any tips, seeing as I've never really contributed to open source before. However, I'm actually very enthusiastic. I am currently reading as much as I can, and browsing projects that I can add some value to in the way I know to.
But mostly, I'm looking to gain courage and inspiration from other people's journeys.
I think a tip could be as a new to the open source community see anything that you could contribute. Specially document pages, spell checks or if examples and readme makes sense and etc. Usually the first open source contributions always start like those smaller fixes :)
I have always wanted to find projects that I can contribute to their documentation, but I don't know how to find them/I have never found them.
The ones I see always require coding contributions.
How can I go about this?
Oooh good question @dumebii! :) I definitely recommend doing the following:
Oh! Okay. I'd do these then. Thanks so much!
