Hi, >> The Brazilian free software community is proud to announce that the >> BrOffice product will be called LibreOffice, which has an international >> community of which we, Brazilian volunteers are active participants and >> contributors. >> > I know that BrOffice has gained quite a good public recognition in Brazil, > so this step is not easy for you. > This issue has been worked here a few months ago. I think personally that the episode involving the extinction of the NGOs contributed to the discussion. A press release made by us ensured that nothing would happen and reassured the market. So the time is right. I do not think we have any damage and there was a bias to adopt the name LibreOffice here. > For LibreOffice it's a great opportunity to show the strength of our > international community and to embrace the people contributing to LibO > in Brazil under our own name. > > This will strengthen our worldwide public recognition to a measurable > degree! > Yes, that's the idea!! >> The office suite BrOffice still remain with this name in version 3.3.x, >> and finally replaced the name from versions 3.4.x. As for the other >> projects developed by Brazilian community as a portal, mailing lists, >> magazine, among many other initiatives already start to adopt the name >> "LibreOffice" in all his works. >> >> > This should be part of the international press release when LibO 3.4.0 will > be announced. > I agree!! > Perhaps we should add a press notice and or an offiicial TDF blog entry on > this topic already now to welcome our co-workers and co-users under > our common name. > > What do you think? > I think its very good. If there is interest we can translate the post published on our website: http://libreoffice.org.br/agora_o_bro_chama_libo (in Portuguese of Brazil).
