Around mid September (godwilling) I'll quit my full time job, and begin working exclusively on opensource. No idea how well that's gonna work for me, but it's something I've wanted to do for about a decade (and been saving up to do for about 3 years).
As that time gets closer, I'll start evaluating options for projects... Nostr is on the list. I'll be at btc++ getting some familiarity with the bitcoin codebase, too.
Always open to suggestions for what to work on & eager for some handholding/encouragement/etc... as I begin to explore outside the corporate world.
Great to hear! Join https://t.me/nostr_protocol to talk more about Nostr stuff IG you feel like.
My worthless advice is to start by making cool small tools or contributions instead of jumping directly into a big project.

oh neat... i just realized you're the maintainer. swag :) pleasure to meet you... i really liked the intro that you wrote to the package.
i love agreeing with people. this is the part that got me most interested (several weeks back when i first heard about it on RHR i think... or maybe dispatch... i don't remember): https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr#the-problem-with-ssb-secure-scuttlebutt
the scuttlebutt community is quirky, and wonderful in what they're up to. however, they seemed to loath the idea of bitcoin... which kinda turned me off from getting involved with them even though there's a lot of js overlap for me. and couchDb looks awesome.
