I and some friends began a startup to make getting involved easier. We're building an open source involvement engine, helping people showcase their contributions to open source and find new opportunities. One thing I'm particularly happy with is our volunteer opportunity search engine; we index bugs from projects large and small, and we showcase places where projects have said they want help from new contributors. There's no other cross-project opportunity search.

Sign up for our alpha at http://openhatch.org/. Right now, before you forget! We'd love more feedback from people interested in getting involved.

Today is Demo Day run by our funders, Shotput Ventures, in case you follow those things.

Once we hit public beta (just a little while) we'll make a real announcement here. (-:
