Welcome to OpenOffice! I'm putting our localization list in CC in case there is some Portuguese translation pending, but I think that at the moment we don't need immediate help there since the program, the online help and the website are fully translated to Portuguese. So your other option, QA, seems to be the best. Just to start, you could help verifying unconfirmed issues. It is not too complex and it helps in making issues more visible to developers. You can find a list of unconfirmed issues at http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-qa.html (I recommend reading the whole page, but if you scroll down to "Easy QA Task: Confirm New Defect Reports" you will see the query). That query returns a huge number of issues, but if you limit it to, e.g., the Draw issues you get down to 89 issues at the moment, which should be feasible in two weeks. If you like the idea, please write to the QA mailing list (see the link above for all relevant information) and ask that we grant CANCONFIRM privileges to you. Of course, we hope you'll be around for longer than two weeks, but this seems an appropriate task for your current assignment.
