Don't feel bad. Work experience is the best way to get another job. Working on open source for free is just doing free work for others; do it if you really want to and use the thing yourself.
Stack Overflow puts a new spin on resumes for developers | TechCrunch
'If you want to give it a try, the new service is now available on Stack Overflow; like all of the company’s other services for developers, it’s available for free. '
'Stack Overflow itself only works with employers directly (or the agencies they hire), but doesn’t allow individual recruiters onto its platform, so developers (hopefully) won’t get spammed by them. '
'Stack Overflow, the community site best known for providing answers for all of your random coding questions, also has a thriving jobs board and provides services to employers looking to hire developers. '
'As Stack Overflow VP of Community Product Jay Hanlon told me, in working with potential employers, the team realized that regular resumes put their emphasis on job titles, schools and degrees — but that doesn’t always work for developers. '
'It’s the timeline view that emphasizes your achievements, but even the traditional view puts its emphasis on which projects you have contributed to, which languages you’ve used, which questions you’ve answered on Stack Overflow, etc. '

My problem is that everything that I have developed is hidden from view because it is created inside company walls and definitely not open Source.

You don't program in your spare time?

Only if I work 8/25/720. If I did not have a GF then maybe I could.
