Dear OpenOffice,
I would like to donate some time to the openOffice project.  I am currently
graduating with a 4 year computer science degree on May 6. I am going to
start a C++ development job in a couple of months, so I have lots of free
time on my hands right now.  I am eager to get my hands dirty, please tell
me how I can contribute.
Thank You

I would suggest that you read through the bug tracker and fix some bugs.
I would say that is probably the best way to learn about the code base.
The hunting through the source code to track down the bugs should give you are really good understanding of the source code, and benefit the community at the same time. These are also tasks that are achievable in the time scales you have.

For example, when one compares two documents, all the changes in the text are highlighted, except text inside tables. It is probably there by design at the moment, but it is a little inconsistent. Having OO highlight changes in the contents of tables would be a welcome addition.
