Well, we could start with the obvious: advocacy. We could help out
with distributing and supporting Ubuntu locally, especially with the
influx of new users (such as those deploying Ubuntu in a net shop/cafe
environment). Personally, I've been helping out a local net shop owner
deploy Ubuntu.

By the way, on a related note: one reason MS is starting to lose on
the net shop end is that they require shops to enter a rental
licensing agreement[1]. The local shop owner I've been talking to is
annoyed that he has to sign up for this.
