Personally, my biggest project was in my early days, where I was still learning C/C++. Obsessively, I wanted to be a game developer and so I developed my own 3D engine. I remember just coming home from school, dropping my bag and coding like there was no tomorrow. I got astonishingly far (although the code must have been horrible). I had implemented a world with collision detection that I could walk in, dynamic lighting, polygon sorting and face culling. Then my computer broke and I have made no backups. Even today I wish I could take a look into that code again, just for fun. This was the - emotionally - biggest project that I worked on.
 
From a professional point of view, I am developing proprietary software and judging by team members, lines of code and complexity, there is a proprietary project that I would count as one of the biggest.

I have commited the initial GUI code and a lot of patches to it.
