Welcome Billy, it depends on your interests. Good entry points are: * extension development http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Extensions * finding the root cause of bugs and providing patches http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Development Extension development helps you to get known with the API without having to deal with all the scary implementation details. It will make it easier to understand the core of OOo itself, if you want to dig deeper later ... When you are interested in directly helping the developing of OOo itself, see the development link above and try your first own OOo build. Then you might consider fixing a few bugs to get a feel for the codebase of the apps you find interesting. If there are any issues dont hesitate to ask either here or on #dev.openoffice.org on freenode (IRC).
