Social Networks

These services are hosted externally, but do use branding in profile pictures, etc. Some services use two images, one smaller one for an avatar, and another larger one for the profile page. Check the service documentation for specific size and aspect ratio requirements.

Branding Consistency

All branding collateral must correct refer to "Apache OpenOffice" and no longer as an incubation project.  It is important we update discrepancies and keep this consistent.

All branding using a logo to represent the project must be the official logo which can be downloaded from the attachments on this page.

Choice of possible product names

The product naming of all software products that the ASF is hosting is "Apache Foo" where "Foo" is the part that we have to find. So the product name has to start with "Apache" and this is not changeable.

Proposed Name

Abbr.

Pros

Cons

Apache OpenOffice.org

AOOo

We already have the trademark on "OpenOffice.org"
Continuity with the legacy name of 11 years
Makes it easy to remember URL for website

Too long - 8 syllables
The ".org" naming scheme was popular circa 2000, but now is dated

Apache OpenOffice

AOO

A shorter name that respects the project's roots

Could conflict with the general brand "OpenOffice" which is registered in a few countries, legal needs to be involved

AOO

Of the options mentioned, this has the largest number of hits

 

Apache Office

No recognition that this is a software product, could be also understood as an official instance of the Apache Foundation

Apache Office Suite
