Good that you wish to do projects in OSS. (F)OSS is an ocean and if you 
want to fish there, first you need to decide on what fish(es) you want 
to fish for. Without knowing that, its not wise to go for fishing.

So, first USE, then PLAY and then CONTRIBUTE. You have to select in 
which area you want to work on, so that you can focus on preparing 
related tools available. For example, Web development, GUI development, 
Linux Device Drivers and Embedded Systems, Localization, Mobile 
technology, Networking, Security are a few to name. It depends on what 
your interests are, for you to choose what you wish to work on.

As you are in B.E. I will be surprised if you say you are not proficient 
in at least C. What matters is whether you have the basics right. Then, 
you can manage with any programming language. If you have the ability to 
get the logic right, then language is just a tool to get your job then.

So, first decide on what you would like to work. Learning programming 
language comes later.
