Hi,

I'm looking for open source projects to contribute to to build my resume and computer programming portfolio to hopefully land a computer-related job. What are good open source projects that I can contribute to?

Have you checked github? or sourceforge?

Github is perhaps THE platform to look to.

One area would be the Processing IDE platfomr where you could contribute tools, libraries or even plugins for other java-based languages. Currently, they support Java, Javascript, Android Java and Jython/Python modes. It would be cool to have plugins for Scala, Groovy, Clojure, Kotlin or Go (not java-based but popular) which would allow folks to use Processing IDE to learn about these languages.

Another is Rosettacode.org where you contribute code to solve some task in one of the 80+ languages they are showcasing.
