Hi Regina
I'm still here, right now i have succeded to complete the first 3 hack
tutorials,

You mean those in the Wiki? They are quite old, belonging to OpenOffice.org 2.0. It might be, that not all details are still valid. Nevertheless, you should then be prepared for the task I mentioned below.

 and i'm trying to navigate the code base.

The code base is huge. As I already have written to Deborah, you get an overview of the code in https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Source_code_directories. It is not up-to-date, but in most parts are still valid. The sister project LibreOffice has some similar information in http://docs.libreoffice.org/ Although they made some changes in the structure most parts are still the same as in Apache OpenOffice.

I have tried to debug with gdb, but i can only debug the asm code, not the
symbolic c++ source code, i think in gcc it is -g option.
I would love some ideas to push me in the right direction, this is my first
opensource involvement.

Which OS do you use?

You should try to start with a real contribution. Something very small in content, but by which you can learn the whole workflow of checkout > build > code change > test > generate patch > attach patch to issue > review.

May I suggest https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=40747
Perhaps name that "Formula", which inserts a Math OLE object, with new string "Formula Math"? It belongs to the uno command .uno:InsertObjectMath. The UI strings for such commands are defined in .xcu files.

Do you already know how to search the code?

Kind regards
Regina
