The Ubuntu Community Website has added Find-A-Task, a job board for volunteers.
http://community.ubuntu.com/contribute/find-a-task/

Give it a try.
It's a great place to refer new volunteers to see the many ways the can improve Ubuntu.
Lots of non-technical volunteers wanted, too.

If you're on a team or project, and want to add a listing, drop by #ubuntu-community-team

I might make a few tutorials for low level debuggers who are lost in linux.

That would be nice actually, I want to help debug Ubuntu but don't know where to start. :)

The best place to start, is reporting bugs.

When I go to the link I get this message.

The page was removed in late 2017 when the Ubuntu Community website was replaced with the Ubuntu Community Hub.

I think you might be the very first person to notice.

Sometimes it pays to be nosey.

Here is an Ubuntu wiki page on how to get involved, I did not check every link to make sure they still work.

Nah it doesn't (Ian's original post)... @Paddy

I also noted almost no references to Lubuntu in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu that WildMan provided (so I've added some)

Yeah. I noticed it too. It says "Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private.

Good call. (You must have added a lot, because there are now 26 references :)).

Lubuntu isn't as popular is it should be. As the lightest of the official Ubuntu variants, it's saved many old computers of mine, my family and my friends. I often see alternatives (such as Pop!_OS and Mint) recommended to newcomers with old computers on Reddit, but they don't have the official support that Lubuntu does, as well as being heavier by far. If you need to go lighter still, there's Bodhi Linux.

The other thing that I notice is that when you search for Lubuntu, the top result is usually an unofficial, outdated website. The result is that some people download from there and hit problems with Lubuntu. That might be one reason why it's not so popular. So, here's yet another link to Lubuntu download (https://lubuntu.me/downloads/) for the search engines :)
