JBoss community has a number of open source projects that you can participate in:

• Application Server
• Infinispan (Data Grids)
• Hibernate (the most famous ORM, Hibernate OGM the NoSQL integration, Hibernate Search the integration with Apache Lucene)
• PicketLink (Security)
• TorqueBox (Ruby)
• Drools (Rules)
• jBPM
• Aerogear (Mobile/HTML5)
• Arquillian  (Enterprise Testing)

Project Ideas

• PicketLink : 
  • Develop demo Java Web Applications using Java EE6 (CDI/JPA) to showcase PicketLink v3 security capabilities. You should be comfortable with Java and databases. You will use JBoss AS 7 as your runtime container. (Mailing List:  security-dev AT lists.jboss.org  Subscribe at http://lists.jboss.org)
• Errai:
  • Enhance the Errai Forge Plugin (many ideas at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EMX-9g4cTVVMWXkFuuI1BisjlNrufpcNI_i9zIr8YCc/edit)
  • Try to make Errai Marshalling work as an annotation processor rather than by scanning the TypeOracle (this should improve development-time performance and simplify deployment)
  • Create an Errai Maven Plugin that helps simplify Errai project POMs
  • Create an Errai Eclipse plugin that helps with Errai-specific development tasks:
    • Navigational aids (eg. F3 on @Templated to goto template in Errai UI)
    • Additional warnings and errors (with quick fixes)
      • @AutoBound type must be annotated with @Bound
      • @Templated type must extend Composite
    • Suppress unused warnings on certain things with Errai annotations
    • Extra entries in the New menu (for example, New Templated Widget)
  • Make Errai work properly under JRebel's GWT plugin (marshalling and IoC are the biggies)
  • Try to implement a JPDA connector for SourceMaps (so you can attach a Java debugger to Chrome in SuperDevMode.) More info about the protocol at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jpda/index.html
• Hibernate Search / Infinispan Query
  
  • Both projects share a common query engine built on top of the Apache Lucene indexing and fulltext library, so any new feature contributed to hibernate-search-engine is then available to Infinispan and Hibernate users alike.
    
  • Today the only supported indexing backend is embedded Lucene (in the same JVM): introduce capability to delegate to remote engines:
    • Elastic Search
    • Apache Solr
  • Distribute queries to multiple nodes
  • Migrate to Apache Lucene 4.0+ (from current 3.6)
    • get it working attempting to keep some backwards compatibility
    • Take advantage of the new features in Lucene 4
  • Simplify setup of clusters (improve integration)
    • improve auto-discovery mechanisms
    • better detection of illegal configurations / suggestions
• Hibernate ORM
  • Help integrating a new JPQL query parser in the core
• Hibernate OGM
  • Develop CRUD operations for any NoSQL technology you like
  • Implement an AST visitor to transfor the queries created by the new JPQL query parser and execute them natively on your favorite NoSQL
• Infinispan / Lucene
  • Develop a Lucene Codec (new feature in Lucene 4) to store indexes in Infinispan
  • Improve performance
  • Native C++ HotRod client for Infinispan
• Arquillian
