JR, welcome to the team! Let me provide you with some links to opportunities that exist.

You can break down our work into contributing testcases, or contributing results for those testcases :-)

For contributing testcases, since you have programming skills, check out this page: http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/cookbook/mobile/how-to-write-autopilot-tests/. Look interesting and cool? It's called autopilot and we could use more testcases written! Let me know if this interests you!

That said, it's not a bad idea to try contributing some test results first before diving into contributing testcases. For learning about contributing test results, testing a daily iso is a great first start for learning how to submit test results and use the QATracker. Follow the tutorial:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Walkthrough

From there, look at dedicating a machine (real or virtual!) to testing the development release. You can install and update your machine as saucy is developed, and you can use it for testing as we track packages throughout the cycle. We call this cadence testing and we're currently inbetween weeks. Each testing week is announced and has a different focus for an application for you to test.

    Hello,

    My name is Julian.
    I have been using Ubuntu for a number of years.
    I don't have any experience with any of this. I just
    want to help out.

    I figured this would be a good way to give back to Ubuntu.

    I am also back in school, taking a course on Python.
    Maybe doing this will help me learn the language faster.

    Thanks,

    Julian
