CS Student Looking For a Good Open Source Project to Contribute To

So I am about a year from graduating and I know I need some real world
experience under my belt to get into rails development when I’m done.
Anyone have any good open source projects needing help from a newcomer
to
rails. Im very comfortable with Ruby, jquery, html, HTTP, and
Relational
Databases but just can’t seem to find a project that sparks my interest
on
Github. I have gone through a few Rails books and feel its time to get
out
of my basement and into the world. Anyone working on anything that they
could use some help on? Ready set go!

Take a look at http://www.redmine.org/, you could contribute to the core
or
for it’s numerous plugins. The best part is that you could find a
company
that actually uses redmine as it’s issue tracker and will appreciate
your
experience (it was the case for me).
