I'm a software developer with 40 years' professional experience, lucky enough to be considering early retirement. I love writing code and don't want to stop. I'm keen to give something back and contribute to one or more open source projects.
The questions are, to what shall I contribute, and how do I get started?
My skills are mainly C++, having spent much of the past decade programmatically dismantling and reassembling Microsoft Office files. I'm quite happy to learn Rust or Go, but don't really like webby front-endy ux stuff.
Any suggestions for a worthy project to which I could contribute? Please boost if you can.

@dave In terms of impact, the @godotengine project is mostly C++ and is changing the gaming industry to be more open and less extractive of indie devs. Could be fun to contribute to
