I have recently started my journey with data science and was wondering if someone could list some open source projects that one could contribute too, involving data science. Please suggest some beginner friendly projects.

Extremely interested by the answer, if you're aware of some, please let me know.

After I've dived up into some Data Science/ML books, I'm trying Kaggle right now. Seems very focused on practical projects, so that's good.

Finding a few real-life data science projects would be a huge plus.

Yes, exactly. I've been primarily following Harvard's CS109. How are you getting ahead with it?

Not a concrete Project for you (the list is long with good projects), but maybe you find some usefull stuff in the oreilly data archive

I went through the Titanic "Getting Started" competition. The stack to practice Data Science and submit results there, is really top notch, it's like Jupyter on steroids. I love it.
