I personally write and maintain OSS primarily because it is the greatest form of track-record. Open Source code speaks volume about your code quality, design decisions, regularity, resourcefulness, and such qualities. I have gotten interviews in the past due to my OSS code. I also write OSS to learn and practice new language, frameworks, etc. These are my primary reasons. Secondarily, I solve problems I face with tiny programs. I put them up online.
