Finally it is your choice that matters. However, for a newbie there are a few distinct paths to choose from. 1. Contribute to an existing open source project - This can vary from a single-person run project to a big, co-operative projects. 2. Contribute by writing code snippets or "scripts" - You don't need to contact anyone. Just take some everyday task and try to write a script to solve it. If you feel it is good enough, post to some common repositories such as ASPN Python Cookbook, snippets.dzone.com etc. 3. Start your own project - If you find *nothing* interesting and have the willingness and energy to start your own stuff, go ahead. Find an interesting problem to solve, write original code. Most people start with 1 or 2, but it is your decision at the end.
