Check the google summer of code projects page! These are all open source, and many of them are based on C/C++. Each project lists ideas that are aimed at outsiders / beginners.

Here is last year's page: http://code.google.com/soc/2008/ Google has not yet decided on which projects are participating this year, but this information will become available within the next couple of weeks (before the end of march 2009) along with a fresh list of ideas.

If you're a student in a College/University you can get lucky and even get mentoring through the GSOC project. But even if not, they will really value any contribution you can make.

Always work on open source projects that you actually use and care about. If you don't use the project yourself, why should you do good work on it?

What about Minix 3? It's a great way to learn about low level programming.
