Deb does a great job with these kinds of things, thanks for sharing the video!

Last year I also did a couple presentations about involvement with
Ubuntu specifically, where I talked about several non-technical ways
to get involved. In one I teamed up with Canonical community team

I also wrote an article that was published in March that specifically
spoke to educators about how they can get involved, which had many of
the same topics:
