I just trained my teachers that NeoOffice is now OpenOffice in two buildings, and in the third they're bitching because OpenOffice is not Microsoft Office. Pretty soon I'm just going to start handing them Etch-a-Sketches and be done with it. Mike On Sep 28, 2010, at 8:17 AM, William M.

A: For ten years we have used the same name - "<http://openoffice.org/>OpenOffice.org" - for both the Community and the software. We've decided it removes ambiguity to have a different name for the two, so the Community is now "The Document Foundation", and the software "LibreOffice". Q: And why are you calling the software "LibreOffice" instead of "<http://openoffice.org/>OpenOffice.org"? A: The<http://openoffice.org/> OpenOffice.org trademark is owned by Oracle Corporation. Our hope is that Oracle will donate this to to the Foundation, along with the other assets it holds in trust for the Community, in due course, once legal etc issues are resolved. However, we need to continue work in the meantime - hence "LibreOffice" ("free office"). ---------------------------------------------- Bill Bell Asst.
