Hi Guys, If people are having trouble with pronouncing "Libre" then I propose we fondly call LibreOffice "LO".
What do you Guys think of "LO"? Best regards, Paul PS Read below to see what I mean: http://www.computerworld.com/comments/node/9188338#comment-665135 In my country (NL) the name Submitted by Karen on September 29, 2010 - 03:28. In my country (NL) the name of success is English. Thus all great products get English names. So why name it "Libre"? Are they insensitive for marketing or is ideological? I say: come on guys, come up with a decent name! Submitted by Anonymous on October 2, 2010 - 16:01. Time to broaden your horizons Karen Ask the Canadians & Americans, they respect the fact that it is nice to know more than one language. The way its going Spanish may soon be the first language in USA. Etymology. From Spanish and French libre (“free, having liberty, at liberty”) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiktionary:libre How about another example: Ubuntu... Heard of it only recently but millions use it & benefit from it. That's also free as in 'Libre' reply | report this comment -----Original Message----- From: Christoph Noack <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, 8 Oct 2010 11:59 pm Subject: Re: [tdf-discuss] I like the name LibreOffice Hi Jean!Am Freitag, den 08.10.2010, 06:28 +1000 schrieb Jean Hollis Weber:> It's okay with me!
