I am not sure when open source became this magical unicorn but I suppose it is good that someone tries to guide would-be contributors - even if I wish they rather had an itch to scrath than viewing it as merely a box to check for the resume.

I recommend starting with something you use or would like to use.

Open Source became "magic pixie dust" right from the beginning of the term with the Mozilla Project. At least in The Cathedral and the Bazaar someone found reason to refute it. http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathedral...

Seems to be a lot of spam, at least in the Java bugs
