Alexey,

How do you want to contribute? If you can code or package you can use
the Build Service to submit patches/improvements to packages in
factory.  One of the best ways to contribute to Factory is to test it
till it bleeds and then provide really good in-depth bug reports (with
a fix would be even better ;-) ).  If you are knowledgeable in the ways
of Linux and the way the geeko does things then you can help others on
IRC and the forums.  If you have a marketing flair you can join in with
the openSUSE Marketing Team.  You could translate
packages/documentation/wiki etc.

openSUSE has a wide range of ways for people to contribute, it has
always had many ways to contribute, it is expanding them even further
on a fairly regular basis.  

Decide on how you want to contribute and then do it.  If that medium
doesn't exist yet then request it.  Requesting that it be possible to
contribute to factory is pointless as many ways already exist.

Happy contributions.

Andy
