I moved from Gentoo to Ubuntu after using Ubuntu to introduce FOSS to a client. I was so impressed with the ease of use and the proper commitment/empowerment of the community that I decided to convert my personal and work distributions to Ubuntu.

In my process of moving from Gentoo to Ubuntu I decided that my first priority was to begin contributing to the community. I decided to execute the following strategy:
 1. Look, Listen, Learn:
  * launchpad - navigate learn and begin to move code and ideas into this network
  * forums - personally commit to X posts/day (for me - 3 posts/day)
  * irc - keep an eye on the irc channel while working and comment when I see something and ask questions as needed.
  * mailing lists - lurk, begin responding, listen to others in the community
 2. Join the bug process and personally commit to triage x bugs/week (for me - 3 bugs/week)

During this process obviously working on understanding how the Ubuntu community works is very important.

=== Under Developed ===
These a projects that are under developed and have not been fully defined to my satisfaction to warrant updating to a separated category.
