If you've never contributed to an open source project before… that is the best place to start. Because you will directly connect with people, you are welcome everywhere and everything you do goes straight into your portfolio. A good way to start is to create a profile on GitHub (fill it out ENTIRELY), find any project you are interested (for example this web page you are reading is open source), edit to fix a typo there and then send your contribution however to the project maintainer. On GitHub this is called "save", "fork" and "pull request", you get all those by clicking the green buttons after you save your change.
From your first typo-fix, you have already passed 80% of the world in building your portfolio in technology. Yes really. Put it on your resume. Yes really. Then imagine what other project you will take on next. You're welcome to share with us on the call, and can expect lots of encouragement.
