Personally I think the .org is stupid and is poor marketing and I suggested
they drop it a long time ago but until someone in charge wises up and
realizes that it doesn't help the cause I am just banging my head against
the wall. I used to say OpenOffice.org when pitching it to all my clients
but I stopped when people started asking me why it is called .org.
Apparently, at least in my area, .org sounds silly and amateurish to others
as well. But then, what do I know. I am not as smart as your marketing team
or I would be on it.

Am I right, that these news are written by the Google team?

So could you (or someone else) ask Google to use the right name?

Best
