Start your own project.

Open source is not strictly about contributing to existing projects. You can start as many new projects as you'd like.

My experience is that many big projects started out as personal (read small) projects that grew out of adoption.

What kind of projects should you start?

Pick something that you reason you can solve with your current knowledge, and get working.
