That question is a bit too vague.
I suggest you look at what software you use and like, think about a simple
change that would make it better for you, and try to implement that. If you
discover it is too hard, try something else.
As a side note, although they're practically the same set of software, we
find "free software" to be a better term than "open source". A good
explanation is at:
