Introduction
Hello,
My name is Gavriel and I'm a 3rd year student (B.Sc. Computer Engineering).
I'm knowledgeable in Java from University courses and mini-projects, but am
now learning C++.
I'd looking for a C++ project which I can contribute to and learn from.
Usually I have 2-3 hours a day to dedicate.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Best regards,
Gavriel Yadgarov

sorry for the late answer. I missed your mail.
Welcome to OpenOffice.
Best way to start with OpenOffice is to learn do your own builds and be
persistent. There is no shame in asking questions. Even the experienced
devs here have to ask around.
You find a general guide here:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO
specific guide:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Step_by_step
How to setup eclipse:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice_and_Eclipse
I try to organize tasks on Jira:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?projectKey=OPENOFFICE&rapidView=301
you can of course help to maintain Bugzilla. We get frequent reports,
and have to look at old ones if they still are accurate.
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/
Also you can try and write hints on bugs can be solved. Maybe a hint
where to look can already help that a solution can be found.
Or help update the documentation on Programming. We have some stuff
here: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Category:Development
Hope this gives you enough hints and connects to choose how you
contribute to the project. All actions even learning to build is very
usefull for us.
All the best
Peter

Welcome to the team.
One major difference between AOO and the typical college project is its size. It is far too big to read all the source code before making changes. You will have to learn enough about the area you want to change.
Because it is big, complicated, and has to run on a range of systems, building it is difficult. If you get stuck ask for help.
