I am also not a developer but in addition to Keith's link to the Build Guide, I thought you might be interested in some recent work to build on Ubuntu Jammy [1], since you mentioned Ubuntu, and the work to update OpenOffice to the ODF 1.3 Standard [2]. I know new developers often feel doubtful about what to work on and the long list of updates needed for the 1.3 standard seems like a possible source of tasks.
