Google summer of code 2008 is starting soon. Applications are due at the end of this month. Participating FOSS projects will post project ideas soon, so just visit some FOSS project that interest you and shop around their task list.
Actually, you may have to wait a couple of days, most FOSS projects are just getting started organizing their task lists.
GSoC is a great way to get into open source: you are getting paid, you have a personal mentor, and you get to work on something _you know_ people care about.
