get a open source contrib on your resume - something they will recognize by name, and hopefully quote something cool - "sped up rendering by 99%"

get a good past job that they will recognize the employer name

and you will have an easy time.

+1 for this. A caution: don't just "join" a project: you have to do something in the project and be able to point at the actual code contribution you made.
