Hello friends!  
I wish to contribute to Open Source. I had taken part in HacktoberFest 2k17 but since then life happened and I wasn’t able to take out time for the same.  
Can you suggest me some projects for a beginner in JavaScript ( not exactly a beginner but I’d prefer easy projects to start with open source) ?  
Thanking you in anticipation.

You can search GitHub for tags like [first-timers only](https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=label%3Afirst-timers-only+is%3Aopen&type=Issues&ref=searchresults). A quick google search also brought me this [list of beginner friendly OS projects](https://github.com/MunGell/awesome-for-beginners) as the first result.

Okay I’ll see to it. Thank you. Any other suggestions?
