I agree we shouldn't use OpenOffice.org because not only is it the product name (which is fine), but it is also the domain name for the product. Imagine for example we have the domain name AmiOpenOffice.org or AmigaOpenOffice.org or whatever and the logo on this site is OpenOffice.org, this would look ridiculous and confusing.
Tony in my opinion the 'Ami' abbreviation (pronounced am-ee) is fine, it is often used for amiga products and events
How about we list all the options and I create a poll on amigaworld.net and let the amiga community decide the name? I think this would be the ideal solution as no one here will be able to agree.
So the options so far are.
- AmigaOffice - AmiOpenOffice - OpenOffice.org - OpenOffice Amiga - Amiga OpenOffice and anything else that we can come up with

Hi all,

My vote goes towards "OpenOffice.org". I don't think that naming it otherwise makes any sense at all. OpenOffice.org is a brand name that will attract news media and give the Amiga a bit of addiitonal, much needed press coverage.
Name of Product:
As has been said, we can't use "Open Office" - it's Sun's copyrighted
name.
I think we shouldn't use "OpenOffice.org" - it is a domain name already,
and
does not show that we did any work on it at all. I don't like the "Ami" abbreviation as a prefix - it sounds too twee. What about "OpenOffice.Amiga", or "OpenOffice Amiga"?
Name of Project:
"OpenOffice for Amiga" is quite adequate to describe the project, unless
you
want to narrow it down to include "OS4".
cheers tony
