Here are some ideas:
* Create a mobile app and the matching server software, based on an open source software stack. Implement the software in a cloud service (Google or Amazon, for example)and make the code available on GitHub.
* Set up your own network of servers, configuring the network and services to interoperate. Use a variety of operating systems and software versions. Set up a multi-tier system with some combination of a web server, application server, database server, file server, and/or print server. Experiment with orchestration software (Ansible/Puppet/Chef), set up redundancy (server failover), try to break into your own systems, or optimize the systems for highest performance. You can buy cheap used computers or create virtual machines on your PC to do this virtually.
* Contribute bug fixes or feature improvements to an open source project.
