Somebody was asking on IRC last night how to contribute to Linux projects.

This is a very large question, as contributions can vary from 
translations, to art, to coding, to debugging, etc. The imagination, or 
the proverbian sky, is the limit.

An example, however, for the Ubuntu fans, is:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad

"There are in fact no requirements for joining the team. You don't need 
to be an expert on packaging and programming. In fact, this is one of 
the best ways to help Ubuntu if you can't program / package at all. All 
you need is a lot of love for Ubuntu. "

Most distributions have a BugSquad, or hold "Squash parties" or the 
equivalent.  Check with google, should you be interested.
