Where to start by participating in Ubuntu (and other distributions)

Question

The days of training for my development began with C ++, but there have been many days since then. I would like to explore the contributions of Ubuntu (or Chromium), but I'm not sure where to start. I am very rusty when it comes to C ++ and especially in such a large project. Is there a good place for me?

I mainly look for resources to start with a lot of codes (since there is a lot of code) and, I hope, a useful blog / tutorial on collecting backups in C ++ (preferably for large open source projects such as Ubuntu)

There is nothing standing in the way of opening Open Source. Get started right away with minimal documentation, minor bug fixes, or even adding / improving or fixing grammar problems with comments on existing code. All this is important, and they also help to develop your knowledge about a specific project or part of a project, which will allow you to dive deeper into the more complex aspects of your chosen project.
