That's not what I look for at all. We're not hiring people to write toy programs; seeing one doesn't tell me much more than I will find out by having you write some code on a whiteboard. The real use of having OSS on your resume is it shows you can contribute real code to real projects. This is particularly useful when, as a newcomer to the field, you have no other experience that demonstrates this. -Jonathan -- C++ is history repeated as tragedy.
