Hi Mario, what a lovely offer. Summer is indeed a chancy time for both
developers and new volunteers. People are traveling or just away from
their computers.

Two things will help: if you can use IRC, please join #kubuntu-devel
on Freenode, introduce yourself, and hang out there as much as
possible. The more you read there, the more you see how we work
together.

Whether or not you use irc, please join the Kubuntu-devel list, and
again, introduce yourself and what you might be interested in doing.
Translations are always needed, although localization and
internationalization for the software are done by either the KDE
translation team or the Ubuntu translators for the most part.

We do have a bit of our own software, and our documentation and
important pages of our website that need translators. Documentation
always needs fresh eyes, to check that text and screenshots are
correct, and written as simply and accurately as possible.

Every new Kubuntu and KDE release we need testing, of course. Ask to
join the testing team, and you'll be added to the IRC "call for
testers" which will ping you when something new comes up.

And last, but certainly not least, we always need packagers. The more
people learn packaging, the lighter the burden and faster we can get
new stuff out to our users.

To sum up: join #kubuntu-devel, and
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-devel and speak up!

All the best,

Valorie
