Actually last semester I did a course in parallel computing. They just
introduced OpenCL. It was more focused upon parallelism concepts using
OpenMP and CUDA. I would not mind developing expertise in OpenCL, in order
to become a complete OpenGuy ;). And with the know how of CUDA I assume
OpenCL would not be that hard atleast for the start. Do we have some jobs
for parallelization? There has to be, but I could not find any in the Ideas
list. It would be really helpful if you could suggest some according to my
interests.

Yes I am used to Qt but not with engines like OGRE. I definitely need to
look into the display manager more to get accustomed with its complexity
and will get back to you soon. In "The 2D sketch editor" extending the
library of Archer seems interesting due to my good familiarity with various
curves. What I am afraid here is of my expertise in tcl/tk, can you
please elaborate on its proficiency requirements?
Meanwhile I am leaning more towards implementing a "Spacial partitioning
API" due to my foundation in C, computer graphics and data structures. Here
I need to know more about the generality as it would greatly affect the
overall design of all the partitioning schemes. And which all schemes are
expected? BSPs, Octrees, Kd-trees..a 3D voxel grid.
