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.

Some 🌳💞 for RPM Spec

TL;DR I wrote a tree-sitter parser for RPM Spec and it finally is in a state where it could be used 🙂
