The statement from Oracle implies they are keeping the trademark, so I

There is one helpful thing about their comment, which is that it came
quickly and we can now all settle on LibreOffice as the longterm name --
it will be an actual fork, not a temporary name that may revert back to
OpenOffice.org.

One thing I would like to see the Document Foundation undertake is to
(or at least try to) organize the other major efforts, like Go-oo,
OxygenOffice and NeoOffice - and maybe now even IBM/Lotus Symphony - to
eliminate duplication of effort and coordinate patch acceptance, etc.

The inclusion of most of go-oo's more stable patches in the first beta
release is an excellent first step in this direction, and I hope is only
'shades of things to come' in this area.

I'm getting really excited at the possibilities!
