There's a wiki page that lists a handful of people who are helpful contacts for various topics and areas of development, who you could reach out - obviously, this would apply primarily if, down the road, you identify a particular topic area you realize you're very much interested in. See https://wiki.freebsd.org/MentorMatch There is an article on Contributing to FreeBSD on the docs site, which helps with getting an overview of the various development parts of FreeBSD: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/contributing/ There are various projects listed on the wiki, which could potentially be a good starting point: https://wiki.freebsd.org/CategoryProject However, since this may be too much choice, maybe you want to focus on the "junior jobs" first: https://wiki.freebsd.org/JuniorJobs Hope this helps. I'll ask around for further pointers in the meantime. Let me know if there's any further or other questions.
