Get Involved with Ubuntu!
Introduction
So you want to get involved but dont know how or where to start? At the outset, we are a community driven adventure which means our software, artwork, testing and development, marketing, documentation and other aspects of Ubuntu have been created, tested, used and discussed openly by people around the world participating in the Free (as in speech) community driven via the Internet. Anyone using Ubuntu is part of this global community.
You are welcome to help shape and improve Ubuntu to meet your needs by using Ubuntu in your everyday life and recommending it to others, helping other users, translating programs or documents to your native language, or testing the software and reporting bugs, creating artwork or writing documentation, fixing software bugs, creating new software or keeping others' software up to date. Some of the following tasks would be under the aegis of specialist groups in Ubuntu (Ubuntu-devel, Documentation, Translation teams, ...) and your work will finally converge with the main Ubuntu ecosystem.

No effort is too small and whatever you bring to this community will be appreciated. So read on to find out how you can make a difference in Ubuntu-Women.
Add your name to the Ubuntu-Women Team on Launchpad and create your profile and send a mail to the list so we can get to know you better.
Subscribe to the Ubuntu-Women mailing list to ask questions and discuss anything relevant to Ubuntu or chat with us via IRC in the #ubuntu-women and #ubuntu-women-project channels on irc.ubuntu.com
Use our Wiki to suggest your new idea for the project. There are many people who can help, guide and point out resources to accomplish it.
Women already involved in the Ubuntu community can aggregate their blogs to Planet Ubuntu-Women by mailing the list or by writing to: Elizabeth Krumbach at lyz@ubuntu.com with a short self-introduction.
If you are active in the Ubuntu community (or Debian/Gnome/KDE/other upstream communities), please take some time to volunteer for our Mentoring program where each One, can teach One, a cool way to share your kowledge with others in the community.
