In addition to helping at your suitable level of knowledge in the 
forums and lists, or with bugs or development, you can help to spread 
the word about Ubuntu and foss generally to those people who you know 
might be interested, and more. Help one person today and they will 
help another tomorrow..... Inform one person of Ubuntu and help them 
get started, and soon they will be following in your footsteps with 
others. Then there are two of you . Then four, then 16, then.....
:-)
best wishes!
