Aside from Debian, you could browse the Sourceforge.net project list
sorted by programming language and look for something you are interested
in:
http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=160

There is also a "Help wanted" section at http://sourceforge.net/people/
where you can directly find projects seeking help. A lot of Debian's
packages are hosted upstream at Sourceforge, so you would help Debian,
too.

This is not true. The article states that there are probably one million
machines running linux in germany. Debian is only referred to as the
ancestor of Ubuntu. Even if you connect that with the article's stress
on the user friendlyness of Ubuntu, this has nothing to do with the
current security problems in Debian.

But I agree: although the article is wrong in a lot of details, it's
very enjoyable to read stuff like this on heute.de. heute ("today") is
the news program of germany's second publically funded TV station which
generally means it gets a lot of attention (more for the news on TV than
for their website, though).

That should probably read 'RSS', I guess.
