ToDoList is an opensource application on http://www.abstractspoon.com/ hosted at codebetter.com. It's a simple easy to use and has almost everything you were looking for except true attachments. They have something close; a link to location(file,folder,website,email, or task) that once it's filled in has a view button that launches the location.
Work for near free (like minimum wage or even less), but not free. You need to get paid. Look on job boards like guru.com and hireageek.com and bid on projects at cheap rates. Then you can put on your resume that you contracted to these companies for the projects. Do as many short ones as you can. Ask permission to use them as references and if you want to use them as a reference, remind them, ask them a second time and warn them that you put their name out there as a reference for you.
This actually will get you experience and paid (some).
Other than that, work for free on an opensource project. Find books/blogs/articles on how to go about that.
freecycle is an grassroots idea that has spread across the world where people post stuff they want to get rid of and other people ask for it and go pick it up.
http://www.freecycle.org/ is a web page finder to find a local freecycle group. The groups are actually yahoo groups. They are the best way to get rid of useful to someone junk without actually throwing it out. It is where you can get rid of stuff that is still usable and / or get stuff that other people are getting rid of.
