If nobody has taken your advice, how do you know it really works for other recruiters than yourself? Not saying it never will, it's just there's a vast number of companies out there, and not all of those that work in recruiting and hiring may be well versed in the technical details of various open source tools and libraries. Anyway, if anyone does want to try this, I'd say be wise about which project you pick. Not all open source projects have the same "contribution capacity". Just because there's a lot of developers on a project does not automatically mean they have the extra time it takes to guide and help with getting contributions from new members merged. If you're out of a job, the last thing you want is for your contributions to be stuck for months waiting for someone to have the time to give feedback or merge them.
