Hi Lee, nice to meet you!
I think Henne's given you a few good pointers to start
As communications seems to be your thing, I'd recommend you speak to Nenad (nenad@latinovic.info). He's also relatively new to our project and doing a great job with articles on http://news.opensuse.org so he can probably help you get started helping with that.
On the social media side of things, it's a little more complicated as different people are doing different things. For Facebook, I'd recommend you speak to Chuck Payne (terrorpup@opensuse.org)
For Google+, the best people to speak to are probably Roger Luedecke (roger.luedecke@gmail.com) or Ilias (zoumpis@opensuse.org)
And for twitter, I can't think of a single best person to talk to, but I'm sure someone can help if you reach out to tweet-master@opensuse.org
You probably want to subscribe to the opensuse-marketing mailinglist (just send a mail to opensuse-marketing+subscribe@opensuse.org)
In fact, it's probably a good idea to review our list of mailing lists and subscribe to those that match your interests http://lists.opensuse.org/
On the packaging or more technical side of things, I understand we're very different from what you experienced in Fuduntu where a few people did a huge amount of the packaging of the entire distro.
With our development model ( https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Factory_development_model ) we're organised into groups, dealing with the parts of the distro we're interested in (eg. GNOME, KDE, Network Monitoring, etc)
Some of these groups have mailinglists, for those that don't it's probably best to reach out on the opensuse-factory or opensuse-packaging lists, or use the search in our great build service ( http://build.opensuse.org ) to identify the maintainers for the Packages you're interested in working on.
And if you ever get lost and don't know to talk to, feel free to write emails like the one you just did here, or if the topic is a little sticky, you can always contact the openSUSE Board at board@opensuse.org who will be happy to help you.
Welcome to the Project :)

And I forgot to mention, lots of us can be found on IRC (irc.freenode.org) in various #opensuse* channels - most of them with names/purposes matching their mailinglist equivalent (eg. #opensuse-project, #opensuse-factory, #opensuse-gnome) Hope this helps! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
