First thing first https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development
take a look there follow some links...

The very first thing you want to achieve is to build the product yourself.

Then as indicated in other posts take a look at the EasyHacks to find
some task that seems suitable to you...
You can also try the route of browsing our bugzilla and find bugs that
you feel like trying to fix... I suspect that may be a bit harder at
first, but that can be quite rewarding too :-)

Make sure you familiarized yourself with gerrit (
http://gerrit.libreoffice.org ) as this is the preferred way to submit
patches...
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/Documentation/intro-quick.html give a
nice overview of gerrit and how to use it.

If you are not familiar with git, you may also want to google for some
introduction to it.. there are plenty of
resource/manual/video/presentation etc.. on gerrit. you are bound to
find one that explains it in a way that is clear to you :-)

Welcome to LibreOffice and Have fun :-)
