Volunteering is an important part of being a part of Flipside. This is a Do-ocracy and so you're not really here if you're not making with the doing.
There are plenty of ways to help! If you don't see what you want here, you could always contact one of the leads. If that doesn't work, or you want more immediate information, look at the OpsWiki or Pyropedia Wiki.
