You can pick a task from any of the project boards to do, but the "Hacker Points" board is the best suited for newbies or drive-by volunteering.

Once you familiarize yourself with the layout, pick a task and assign yourself to it. When you complete it, move it to the "completed" column by drag&drop. You can also use the "ready" and "in progress" columns for whatever that may mean to you (for instance, you started, but will come back later to finish).
