Here are some ideas for ways you could get involved in Debian:

French translation:

http://www.debian.org/international/french/

Writing documentation:

http://www.debian.org/doc/
Install the devscripts package and run manpage-alert. You will get a
list of packages on your system with commands that have no manual
page.

Maintaining the website:

http://www.debian.org/devel/website/

Maintaining packages:

Install the devscripts package and run wnpp-alert. You will get a list
of packages on your system that need a new maintainer or need someone
to help out.

Join the python/perl teams:

http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonModulesTeam
http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonAppsPackagingTeam
http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianPerlGroup

Helping with release critical issues:

Install the devscripts package and run rc-alert. You will get a list
of packages on your system that have a release-critical bug filed
against them

Help with security issues:

http://www.debian.org/security/faq#help

Help with infrastructure:

You might like to work on the code for qa.debian.org, bugs.debian.org
or other development related sites.
