Wondering about the nameWondering about the namePosted Jul 14, 2011 18:05 UTC (Thu) by dmarti (subscriber, #11625)In reply to: It is on! by kragilkragil2 Parent article: IBM to contribute Symphony to OpenOffice.org "Apache Symphony" has a certain ring to it. OpenOffice.org has always been a clunky name, since there are too many things called "Open.*" and the ".org" (required to avoid a trademark conflict with some other "Open.*" thing) is confusing. Will Apache be able to use the "Symphony" name?

Wondering about the name Posted Jul 14, 2011 18:11 UTC (Thu) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] Dunno about Symphony, but an ongoing conversation suggests that ".org", at least, will go. "Apache OpenOffice" is apparently good enough to be a distinct name.

I thought .org was tacked on because another pre-existing commercial Open Office got upset.
