GIS represents one of the last great frontiers (along with BI) where the data volume lets everyone work on real computer science. This is a great field, and as long as you are not in europe there is enough public data to make things interesting for the open source developer.

(I actually like any form of programming in the large, distributing computing, design, ...)

Here are a couple of the open source projects I am known to work on:

UDIG	User Friendly Desktop Internet GIS	Architect / Team Lead
GeoTools	Geotools - the Java GIS Toolkit	Project Management Commitee
GeoServer	the open internet gateway for geographic data	Commiter, focused on WFS-T
GeoAPI	OGC Interfaces for interoptability	A Lead, focused usability
