Hi Edward, Welcome to the Apache OpenOffice project. This is a good code base, but we have marked a number of issues in our Bugzilla database as "easy" tasks, suitable for someone new to the codebase. And we have other, more seasoned developers who can answer questions and review your first patch. The first hurdle is to get a successful build. My advice is: ask plenty of questions. Everyone needs help at this stage, so don't hesitate to post your build progress and what error message you are seeing.
