I've have been working on a little project to promote open source collaboration during december, it's called 24 Pull Requests.

The idea is basically "Send a pull request every day in december leading up to Christmas", in the form of a webpage and a twitter account encouraging developers to give back to open source with little gifts of code throughout december.

The site also provides suggested projects to help with, guides for contributing and highlight good pull requests submitted each day.

Tt's also open source on GitHub
