It has been a while since we did an FAQ post, so if this is new to you, please see what this is. This is a post from the /r/golang moderators so that we can gather up answers to recurring questions so we don't have to have these recurring questions coming up many times a week and annoying frequent contributors. This is generally a positive for the subreddit, so I would politely request that you think twice before downvoting this. This is an investment in subreddit quality.

In the last couple of weeks we've gotten a burst of questions asking about open source projects to contribute to, and our current answer is about a year and a half old now, so it seems like a good time to surface this and freshen this answer up.

So, please post how to get into open source, what projects may be looking for contributors, and projects that are a good project to study to learn Go. This is a fine place to copy and paste a previous answer you may have given, including in the previous FAQ, and self-promotion is encouraged for this post.

Below this line will be the permanent text for this FAQ entry:

What are some good projects that I can use to either 1. study a good Go project or 2. contribute to an open source Go project?
