If you'd like to volunteer to help OLPC out, please start by signing up for an account here on the wiki.
There are a number of ways to help the OLPC project. See developers program and curators and coordinators for ways to get involved with software development or curation; see hardware ideas, software ideas and content ideas to contribute your thoughts and writing. Or send email to volunteers at laptop.org to offer specific help or expertise.
You can find out more about contributing content or add yourself to the author list if you're already involved in developing activities, community services, or designs for the laptop. If you want build a local community of OLPC enthusiasts, you can also find ideas on the wiki about how to do that.
