What is your proposal for the name of your release? Please make a
proposal
for what you wish to name your release.
Rob described the two options very concise. The preference would be to
release "OpenOffice.org 3.3.1" with consent of the home of development
work for future releases.

The Apache Open Office PPMC is the only organization that should be
releasing a software product using just the name "OpenOffice.org".
Apache trademark policy is clear that third parties are *not* allowed to
use Apache brands in confusing or infringing manners on software products.
We offer broad guidelines for using a "Powered By" style of naming for
third party software products that are either built on top of, extend,
or otherwise use Apache code but add your own code to your product:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/faq/#products
Note that we'd certainly consider permitting other phrases besides the
"Powered By" phrase, like "Built Using", etc. (but not "Distribution" or
"Release" or other similarly non-specific phrases). This allows third
parties to create their own, independently branded products while still
allowing third parties to show the obvious relationship to the
underlying Apache product.
