Fun, and practice, and there's always someone on github who could use help with their open source thing.
Source: myself, and everyone else on github who could use help with our open source things. ;-)

Any chance you could point me at one or two?
Background: I enjoy coding, but run into problems with high-level motivation. Point me at something to do, I'll do it (and likely enjoy myself) but when it comes to doing the pointing myself I draw a blank. Most of the code I've written in the last year has come from frustration with inadequate tools at work, which is productive for learning but not for sharing.
I'm currently most proficient with Python, have dabbled in C++, and commit to spending an hour each with the first two open source things anyone points me at. (2x 25 minute pomodoros, this weekend.)
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
