http://www.firsttimersonly.com/ by Scott Hanselman + Kent Dodds is an iteration on Scott's http://up-for-grabs.net/

Scott also did a walkthrough several years ago: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/GetInvolvedInOpenSourceTodayHo...

https://www.hanselman.com/blog/BringKindnessBackToOpenSource... is targeted more at maintainers.

There are a great number of additional resources and discussion on those blog posts.

If video is your jam, check out Scott's presentation "Getting Started in Open Source": https://youtu.be/nmiftiGktsU

OT: The icons and banners that constantly hover around the text make it really hard to concentrate on it. Thank god for Firefox' reader mode.
