If you want a personal challenge of completing a game a month and/or are looking for inspiration for small games there is a great community for such things.
One Game a Month (http://onegameamonth.com/)
It was started by Ludum Dare aficionado Chris Kaitila. Its not a game jam thing but more to help push you to finish your projects and improve your game development skills. Good for feedback and encouragement.
