If you will do core development, then you need your own build.

You checkout (or download) the source and build it. Then you write your 
changes to your local source and build it again. Then you test, whether 
the bug is fixed or the feature works as intended. If all is OK, you 
create a patch and append the patch to the issue and make an review request.

If an experienced developer finds your patch is good, he will push it to 
the trunk. This commit will get your name as author, so it is recorded, 
that you have written the patch.

Kind regards
Regina

Hello Regina Henschel,

I'm using Ubuntu (12.04). OpenOffice is already installed on Ubuntu, am I
still to get my own build?

Thanks.

Then you will be interest in core development? That's fine. To get 
started you first need your own build. If you not have done it already, 
then you should start with reading the guides on the Wiki.
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO

If you want to work with git, that is possible, but need some further steps.

Please ask whenever something do not work for you. Especially building 
on Windows with a MSVC Express might be a little bit tricky. What OS do 
you use?

If you have got your own build, you should say, which area you are 
interested in, Calc, Draw, Writer, Help or whatever.

Kind regards
Regina
