Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] New Guy
Regarding documentation, at least on the wiki, you can get started right now. Just log in and edit where you see fit. If you wanted to do something more formal, such as [Ubuntu Manual][1], that's a bit of a more involved process, but really anyone can branch their code, make changes, and issue a merge request. Bazaar is a little bit different than git and Launchpad is certainly different than Github, so the workflow's a bit different. This should be well described, but let us know if you have problems. Regarding bug triage, the [wiki has tons of documentation][2] on that subject. Join the [Bug Squad on Launchpad][3] as well as their mailing list. Their IRC channel (#ubuntu-bugs) is helpful, too. There's also a subset of the team called [Bug Control][4] that has access to change everything, such as every priority and status. I would read the wiki as if you were trying to create an application for the Bug Control team and start making some changes. You can send them to the mailing list or IRC (or here; there's more than a couple of us here that are on the team, including Bug Master General Himself, Brian Murray) for review and feedback. Once you've contributed some meaningful things and given that you are committed to making further contributions, we can work on making you an [Ubuntu Member][5], too!
