Numbers 3 and 5 are on my list as well. Just saw a talk about contributing to React and Hacktoberfest last year and want to get more onto the OSS train, as well as flexing some coding chops.

As for reading, I haven't been keeping up on stuff since college specifically for coding, so I am picking up books to help me get up to speed. Mostly this resolution is to not be afraid to pay for learning, free tutorials only get so far and are of varying quality. Not that every book is gold-standard amazing, but there are a number of good, well-recommended resources.

I did Hacktoberfest this past October. It was my first dip into open source so I was a bit intimidated to start, but I ended up finding so many projects I could contribute to. I felt rewarded before I even got that free shirt in the mail haha. I highly recommend it to anyone.
