Ask HN: Open Source projects to join?

6 points by chimmychonga 12 years ago | 5 comments

Hey guys, I'm currently studying CS and I am Sophomore. I would consider my self an "ok" programmer, I'm not by any means amazing but with that being said I'm not horrible either. Is there any projects open source or other wise that you might need some help on so that I can get some real world experience and something to list on my resume as well?

Would you like to join my FOSS team?

I've managed to help someone else here looking to contribute to FOSS stuff.

We basically build our own OSS stuff (currently working on a blog project).

also I'm sure it would be important to note that I am familiar with Java, Python, C++, and am learning Perl this semester. I typically pick things up pretty fast so learning a new language (unless its just a strange one) wouldn't be that difficult for me.
