By joining the team! Merely joining and participating would be help enough.
If you fancy pitching in, there are a number of projects under way that could use help. KrishnaRao.Veeramachaneni has been helping a couple of NGOs to equip rural schools with computers. The aim is to furnish these computers with the Fedora Core Linux operating system and Free software suites.
