Is there any website that connects open source projects with developers - a place where open source projects can post jobs(task)they need to get done and interested programmers can search and browse it?

For any of my projects, go to the issues page on github and there's the list of things I need done. You can then message me through github or comment on the issues as well. This is true for a lot of projects.

OpenHatch lists tasks from various open-source projects, usually aimed at new contributors - http://openhatch.org/search/ http://openhatch.org/search/ - any project listed there would be actively looking for help and welcoming to new people. From my experience though, just about every open-source project out there would love to have more people helping out. Have a look at the project's bug tracker.

I have an idea for a open source bounty board. You can post a job that you would like the open source project X to implement feature Y and you are willing to pay Z to whoever does it. What do you think?

  Gun.io already has that covered, at least in the States (for now).

Weekend Hacker connects developers with projects. I don't think all the projects are open source but it might be worth having a look. http://www.weekendhacker.net/ http://www.weekendhacker.net/

If you like open source web projects, there are great ones listed at http://libreprojects.net http://libreprojects.net Most of them also need developers, and some have specific jobs. ownCloud for instance has some starters: http://owncloud.org/dev/junior-jobs/ http://owncloud.org/dev/junior-jobs/ and so has Unhosted: https://github.com/unhosted/website/wiki/State-of-the-movement https://github.com/unhosted/website/wiki/State-of-the-moveme...
