If OOo and LO are to come together under one set of governance, the
constitution/rules will have to be agreed. Here are some examples NOT
specific  suggestions, simply to illustrate the point.

1. TDF governance is adopted by all - in that case OOo community Council etc
is absorbed into TDF
2. OOo CC is adopted by all - in that case TDF is absorbed into OOo CC
3. A new organisation is created with a new constitution and governance for
both communities
4. Either governance is modified in some way to take account of the other
5. Each remains separate but agrees to cooperate in a sort of coalition.

Once community and project governance is resolved the duly elected officers
in consultation with the community can make decisions about eg development
priorities use of names etc.  I think until there is agreement on governance
with delegated power to the governing body, there will always be  the
potential for acrimonious disagreement about every individual issue.
