+1 to Gavin's suggestions. I would keep the IRC channels as-is for the
time being; from the infrastructure perspective Apache doesn't have an
IRC server, so it's purely a community decision.
I think in the long term - namely, once the podling has a release in
progress, the group of committers are getting used to the Apache Way,
and we have something real to show to users (at least, advanced users),
- then it would be worth having a conversation about changing the IRC
channel. Once we start making Apache releases, we'll really need to
consciously get people to think of this as the Apache OpenOffice project
- and not just the old OpenOffice.org project.
But we're not there yet, so I recommend not worrying about this yet.

I wouldn't name that a decision, and that's probably why there's some
confusion, but yes, opinions were leaning towards continuing with
#dev.openoffice.org
I have been sat in the #ooo-dev channel since it got created and zero
traffic
has come by. My log says this:

Admittedly I have joins/parts/quits on /ignore but still, nobody said a word
(until earlier today, thanks Curcuru.)
I guess the idea of the name change was the expectant name change of
dropping .org but that too is still
undecided. At this point I would suggest therefore continue with
#[dev.]openoffice.org channels at don’t
worry about #ooo-dev for now.
