I saw that you are looking for help with building Open Office from source and I

Welcome, Ash! Yes, we can surely put your skills to good use here.
With your current experience I think you can just go ahead and try a
local build on Linux; the process is challenging, or at least
nonstandard, in all environments, but Linux tends to be smoother.
Start with a trunk checkout (your svn skills "from the past" will
actually help here!):
$ svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk openoffice
then go ahead following
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO
and tell us when you have any doubts.
What Linux distribution are you using?
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Step_by_step
has some hints to help building on many distributions, and we'd surely
appreciate if you can collect some notes while you build so that you can
add them to the wiki (if you need an account, just ask here).
I'm CCing you explicitly in this first answer, but in case you are not
subscribed please do so; or read the archives at
https://lists.apache.org/list.html?dev@openoffice.apache.org
Regards,
Andrea.
