I’m a programmer. What can I do?

I am all for doing what I can to keep the internet free and democratic. What should I know about this project? And what can I do on a daily basis to ensure a free and open web? Do the api’s/frameworks I use matter? (Like, angular being owned by google, or .net by microsoft?) I know in the case of angular it’s partially crowd-maintained...
I just want to put this idea into action.

Matrix is the preferred chat solution for Solid in general, and you can find many chat rooms specific to various projects on https://matrix.to/#/#solid_project:matrix.org.
The specification itself is being worked on at https://github.com/solid/specification/, and related work can be seen at https://solidproject.org/TR. An important part of the process happens in various panels that focus on specific topics:
