I personally never liked the OpenOffice.org moniker. Always felt like it was too long and just plain ugly. On Sep 29, 2010 3:48 PM, "Jeff Cook" <jeff@deserettechnology.com> wrote:

Guys,

For those that rely on OpenOffice, and for those that prepare the packages, it's official, OpenOffice forked as of Sept. 28, 2010. Here is the press release:

Thanks David, i had seen the name "libreoffice" somewhere, but it didn't ring a bell so far.

mvg, Guus

LibreOffice may not stick -- they have invited Oracle to be a member of the Foundation and asked that they donate the OpenOffice.org materials; trademarks, logos, etc. So the hope for the OpenOffice brand may not be totally gone yet, though obviously it's doubtful that Oracle will be donating anything.
