You want to first build and run gnome-boxes from git repository. If
you use Fedora 20 (or any distro that ships GNOME 3.10), it should be
fairly easy to get that done. Otherwise, you probably want to rely on
jhbuild (which is something you'll probably want to do later anyway):
https://live.gnome.org/Jhbuild.

Once you are done w/ that, I can find you some simple bugs to fix that
will help you familiarize yourself with the code.
