I think this is huge for CS grads, and I would add to not overlook a blog/SO as it can really showcase your ability to discuss and explain technical topics. I can never write a blog post because every time I try I end up with an outline for a 9-part series explaining everything I've ever learned tangentially related to <topic>, but SO gave me the focus needed to showcase some of my communication abilities. I know that helped me at least get noticed by companies.
