Two options spring to mind; the first is to dig through the Apache Incubator and look for a project that piques your interest. You can quite quickly have a strong impact on a project there. "Your interest" can be fairly vague; it might be that the language is one you want to learn, it might be that you'd like to learn more about image specifications or implement a codec. It works best when it's something you're already using; mine was a PDA IDE that didn't support regexp in its Find menu option.
The second is to look at existing projects and dip into the occasional bug or enhancement. Commons is good for this kind of dim sum contribution and it can be a good way to get used to the general Open Source style before finding a project you want to dive deeper in to. Commons Lang (as the example I know best) often has issues in JIRA where the patch comes from a non-committer (and they weren't the reporter).
