Indeed, the podling will need to conform to the Apache Project Branding
Requirements before it graduates to TLP:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs
Note that a key requirement is using a project (and product) name in the
form of "Apache Foo". What the Foo is is up to the project to decide.
In this case, I'd imagine the PPMC would work on the specific naming
later on, after the community gels for a while and has at least one
release put out.
Note that in this case I imagine the ASF will continue to maintain the
openoffice.org URL(s), given the large set of pre-existing users and
software installed that might phone home. However once the project
graduates to TLP, I would expect the primary landing URL that we use
publicly in future collateral to be on an apache.org domain.

Right. "Apache OpenOffice" might be unique enough from a trademark
perspective, if taken as a whole. I thought there was a query raised
to Apache Branding on this.
Is there a blog title that could be chosen that would not depend on
the resolution of the exact name?
BTW:
What will be the URL name?
So, before a name will be setup we should clarify these things first.

Ok, so nobody has approached Infra yet, I'll be proactive and create it,
then we
need a list of people who will be admins and those that will be
publishers.
Let's start with the name of blog, unlike other things, the blog name
should be
permanent and reflect the name that the project will have upon graduation
to a TLP. (Migrating/renaming blogs is a royal pita so we don't do it.)
Apache openoffice.org should be the name of the Blog ?

Hi Manfred,
did you check all the other (not US/UK) user ML as well?
No, I did it mostly out of curiosity. Although I speak multiple computer
languages, my human language skills are English with a little high school
German over 30 years ago.
If others know ....
IMHO we need a statement for all the current subscribers on the actual
user MLs. You can hardly regain customers you lost.
Agreed. Someone should write an announcement for use to disseminate.
An announcement should probably include:
- introduce AOOo (incubating)
- a promise that all bugs, user forums, and mailing lists will be
migrated
carefully and people can continue as now.
- a call for developers (code and documentation) to join us on ooo-dev w/
a
mention and link to the Apache Way.
- introduce an AOOo blog so that the Community can follow our progress.
Regards,
Dave

Is there a way for list moderators to get a tally of list subscribers?
Or is this an admin permission?
On another thread and list I saw this:
"Email ooo-dev-help@ from your moderator address for more
information."
I'm interesting in knowing how many people are currently subscribed,
especially a sense of the ratio of "lurkers" to active participants,
contributors to users, etc. This could be one indication of whether
we are ready for a ooo-user list now.
I have been lurking on [email protected] - there have been
approximately 130 emails since June 24. Not a very high volume I
haven't seen anything regarding Apache OOo.

Dave
