I know this may fall on deaf ears, but couldn't you people join forces and create ONE open-source office suite? We now have LibreOffice and OpenOffice, and history tells us this trend can only get worse over time.<p>I'm waiting with trepidation for the moment when the LibreOffice and Openoffice document formats become mutually incompatible. When that happens, Microsoft will win again -- not by being better, just by being bigger and by not splitting into competing fragments.
Glad to see the OpenOffice has it's priorities straight now that it's operating under the flag of Apache. Maybe they should just give up on the code altogether and just become a branded fork of LibreOffice.
It would be nice, to create the logo with OO itself, but there is an issue with that: recently I created an infographic with OO, which worked surprisingly well, but when I tried to export the graphic, I ran into serious issues. Every exported vector format looked differently, so for instance in the pdf version the gradients were messed up. Exporting to bitmap was also odd. For example it rendered the red spellchecker markers into the image...<p>I would prefer to see such issues solved first, so that we can create the logo in OO itself.
"Although text in the logo is optional, any font used must be a free and open font. eg. SIL Open Source Fonts."<p>Yeah, right. Good luck finding a free and open high-quality font for branding purposes.<p>"Volunteers can use existing branding as a starting point or start entirely afresh."<p>Given that brand recognition should be about the only reason why new users download OO instead of LO, starting "entirely afresh" sounds like an excellent idea.
