In order to start, if you are really interested, this is the right place to start with, this is the first step that you need to take: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam You have sent your email to the list of a team called Ubuntu Quality [1]. This team, is putting so much tears, blood and sweat, 24/7 to make Ubuntu even better. Not only Ubuntu, but all its official variants as well. While those people are busy doing that, there is yet another team is taking care of new comers to Ubuntu, that is Ubuntu Beginner Team: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam So, let's get you through your first step and then, if you decided to step in and help Ubuntu Quality Team, I and everyone else over here will take good care of you and help you to get started but for now, I do recommend and advice not to jump in too deep, let's learn how to walk then we can run as fast as we can :) Thank you!
