 Hello, my name is Phillip Brown, I am a university student and am required
 to contribute to an open source project.

Excellent wish more universities did the same.

 I was interested in contributing by submitting problem reports about the
 product/website and am wondering where I should start with this?

Probably QA would be a good place to start, we have a QA mailing list
and an introductory module to learn about the way to contribute to QA
and testing:

Hi Phillip,

Some general advice for students working on a project like this:

http://openoffice.apache.org/students.html

We can help you more if you can tell us more about your assignment.
For example, do you need to demonstrate a specific quality assurance
technique?   Or just contribute in some what related to entering
defect reports?

There is a good intro to how we do QA :
http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-qa.html

We're currently finishing up a minor release, Apache OpenOffice 4.0.1,
which should be done in the next couple of weeks.  There will be an
opportunity to do some testing there.

Regards,

-Rob


 Thanks
