Sounds like a deal to me!

It depends on what you're looking for.  Much of the activity these days seems 
to consist of system programs,  utilities,  and languages,  but there are also 
some end-user type applications out there.  Have you looked at freshmeat?  They 
have a pretty nifty setup,  if you see something of interest you can get email 
notifications on it,  when updates come out and such stuff.
