Hello Uday, There are many contribution areas. A good place to start is to look at the wiki: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Main_Page
There is work for many kinds of skillset and commitment levels and many areas of interest. Assuming you have a dev machine, suggest using Linux - OpenSuse 10.1 is excellent, free, and many of the helpful developers who hang out on IRC #go-oo can help you with it. Core development contributions would be in C/C++. Or you can use Python to add plug-in components and features. If you are handy with a debugger, you can fix some bugs, especially the ones you find personally irritating. You can help with performance improvements. How about CTL (Indic languages) layout & handling? You can also help the developer community itself by developing and maintaining tools and scripts using Perl or Python. The Buildbot: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Buildbot could benefit from some additional features. The best way to start is to hangout on IRC, setup the dev machine, download the source, build and use Openoffice.org and then pick a task or area. At any of the points above, feel free to ask for help.
