Contributors to the project are generally around during the work week,
so that's usually the best time to correspond with people on IRC.
(Mailing lists are, of course, more flexible :-)

Is there anything in particular that you're hoping to work on within
LibreOffice? Often the best way to get started on the development side
is to
- Build LibreOffice
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GeneralProgrammingGuidelines
- Find and fix an Easy Hack
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Easy_Hacks

Of course there are many different teams in the project, including QA,
Language/Localization, Design, Documentation, etc..., several of which
can benefit from someone with development experience!

Well welcome to the project! We're always happy to have eager, skilled
contributors join us :-)
