Great idea no doubt about it. I have to admit (using also Ubuntu and LO) that the former is more perceivable as a community and the latter more as a product. It maybe related to os vs app but most of the times could be just a communication factor. Also considering that Ubuntu is backed by a single company ... it should be the other way around.

I don't know if it is a good idea or not but after installation the first time you run LO could you have a welcome document that brings you into the community (love the slogan "it's your product from Leif)? A kind of marketing readme? Or going back to Ubuntu they have the Example folder in your home directory (which I immediately delete now but I read it the first times and got me involved). It could be a writer page or an impress presentation (with hyperlinks). That way you'd also expose people who install from cd/friends/.... and do not download it personally.
