Forwarding to the team list, so that others can see questions and help 
reach out. ;)

We have a ticket queue at 
https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/report/1 which has some tasks 
that may be useful to pick up. However, this isn't the most up-to-date 
place (unfortunately) and we could definitely do a better job of keeping 
it triaged.

What I would suggest is taking a look at some of the more specific 
subprojects and deliverables - I've listed 3 below, going from less 
specific ("look at the projects list!") to more specific ("find  a way 
to localize the F13 one-page release notes for your region once the 
content there is finished.")

Anyone have a specific task they'd like a hand on? I'm mostly thinking 
about deliverables these days, myself, so my mind is on the one-page 
release notes. ;)
