Take a look at the different OpenStack projects. Is there a field you're more
interested in? Compute, networking, storage, etc? Do you have a background
in any of these fields?

If you've found something that looks nice, I'd start by setting up devstack
and reading up all of the documentation of that project. Once you kind-of-sort-of
understand *what* is that project supposed to be doing, and you've played with
a devstack installation sufficiently to your liking (You can create a VM,
you understand most major portions of the UI and what's everything supposed
to be doing. i.e. what's a router and what's a volume) I would start looking
at your project's code. You can find the project's IRC channel and ask if
there are any good beginner bugs. You can look for bugs tagged with low hanging
fruit. You can help with the project's testing efforts (Add coverage, add
functional tests, add tests in Tempest).

Good luck!
