I've heard of the Summer of Code but didn't look into it, I shall. I'm just now getting the basics of github down, adding whatever random code I have around etc

I've heard of the Summer of Code but didn't look into it, I shall. I'm just now getting the basics of github down, adding whatever random code I have around etc.. Also, getting involved in an open source project has crossed my mind but I never did anything about it. Think I'll look for a relatively small program to get involved with, nothing like django or rails at least for now.
