I propose that we rename OpenOffice.org Apache OpenOffice and

invite submissions for a new logo or logos based on these terms with a
deadline of end of November after which the PPMC decides it by vote.
You could also consider Apache Office, as all Apache software is open
source. But maybe that's too far away from the original.
Yes, maybe. When I hear/read "Apache Office" I would ask where it is
located and what the address is. ;-) I wouldn't immediately know that
this term is for an open source software.
I think Apache OpenOffice (and AOO as acronym) is much better. It
creates much better a connection to the old brand OpenOffice.org when
the user has already heard ot it.
And yes, the ".org" extension is no longer necessary or helpful as it
makes the name longer than needed. Apache itself is already an "org".
My 2 ct.
