Welcome to the team :) we are always happy to have new people involved.
I cant be a sponsor but i can certainly tell you on what we are focusing
right now. First is the wiki migration which is scheduled for this
coming week and pretty much everything is done, although you could help
by checking the content in the new wiki is right. 

The other thing we are trying to work on is on making some improvements
to the current fedoraproject.org website and related sites/domains. I
suggest you stick to the discussions here on the ml and attend the
weekly meetings (next one will be Monday 20th at 2000 UTC i think) also
any suggestion you think would help us, please make sure you post it to
the ml or bring it up on the meeting.

So this would give you a starting point and an idea on where we are
heading. 

Again welcome to the team :)
