That's pretty impressive are you currently contributing to open source? If so how did you get start? Right now I am trying to do OS but it's really hard to find a project to do.
[To preface this, I'm assuming you're in or about to enter college]
If you're really motivated, I would recommend looking through previous years' lists of participating organizations for Google Summer of Code [0]. These organizations post lists of project ideas for GSoC, but of course you don't have to participate in GSoC to actually do them. In fact, I would guess that a lot of the project ideas are never even worked on at all. Go ahead and search through the projects for something that interests you and then shoot someone an email or hang out in their IRC (if they have one). Most people would be happy to have you on board.
IMHO, OS stuff is really tough. I just recently graduated college, and I wouldn't dare bother with the time commitment required to get involved in OS development (I'm looking at you, linux kernel). It's just not for me. Maybe you'll like it though. :)
Not really. I've never really jumped onto an open source project before. I've had pull requests of mine accepted into projects before but I've never been a serial contributor. That said, I feel like I'm coming into a phase where that may be something I want to do in the future. These projects that I listed here were just things I did by myself for fun when I Was younger. I had probably 10s or 100s more but most were variations of hacks and stuff that I've lost over the years, sadly.
