Answer 1

Find an open-source project, and look for their details on how to contribute. The exact processes tend to vary from project to project.

Answer 2

Head to http://www.github.com, find a project you'd like to contribute to, git clone their repository, start making changes. When you've got something useful put together, git diff it, mail your patch to the project mail list (or author), and then respond to their feedback. Iterate. :)

Answer 3

Yes, i would suggest you to have a look at:
