Here's what you need to do: 1. Create a profile on GitHub.com 2. Search / browser / find some project you are interested in 3. "Fork" the project and now you have a repository for that project 4. Clone this newly forked project on to your hard drive 5. Fix some bugs, make some improvements etc. Now will be a good time to ask the project's mailing list what's best for you to do. 6. Go back to GitHub.com 7. Submit a pull request
