60 seconds of searching through Google reveals step-by-step processes
for each of a number of different teams...

 * https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted
 * https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/GettingInvolved
 * https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/GettingInvolved
 * https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/GettingStarted
 * https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing#How%20do%20I%20get%20involved?

There are *so* many avenues to getting involved with Ubuntu it's
perhaps overwhelming.  I suggest picking one of those teams above (or
one of many others), and trying to find your niche.
