Cool. The best way to start is the questions@ mailing list:
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/
Try to ask and answer questions there, sometimes it's quite challenging 8-)
What is your main interest ? Which programming language, which
application area ? Are you into C programming or what
would be of interest to you ?
> Is there a 'easy-hacks' or 'bugs' list that I can begin with?
There's a page with ideas:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/IdeasPage
and there's the Google Summer of Code ideas page:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCodeIdeas
And if you want to start bug-squashing, dig into
https://bugs.freebsd.org/
and search for interesting bugs to reproduce, and propose patches.

One topic that is always hot is testing and integrating new wireless and
other device drivers.

I recommend reading the general handbook for the concepts:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/
Then, if you really want to do operation-system coding, look at the
Developers handbook.
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook
If you want to have start in the application area, look at the
ports tree, and it's handbook:
