When you see that hacking AOO pleases you, it's time to look for bigger tasks, get in contact on IRC or on the development mailing list. The list is friendly and supportive; the people want to help.
Create an extension
Extensions are easy to write and fun to see in action. You can add features that millions of others will use by using Java, Python, StarBasic, or JavaScript. Find more on Extension development wiki page. The OpenOffice UNO component model is quite extensive and can be daunting at first. To help you, there is a comprehensive Development Guide. The easiest way to get started is by using the plugins for Netbeans and for Eclipse. Plus, you can get help from the DEV mailing list.
