Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Hey

Hi,

OOoDeV has been part of the OOo community, and many projects that needed 
legal backing have been done with OOoDeV. The PrOOo-Box has been one of 
them, but it is a community project, not only an OOoDeV project. Not 
everyone involved is an OOoDeV member, as far as I know.

OOoDeV? Well, I guess so, but formally, we have to file a request to our 
members meeting, with a change of the name and a change of the policies 
(as they contain the name OOoDeV). This will take a while, until it is 
voted on and approved, but my personal opinion is that it might happen.

OOoDeV is the interim legal entity, holding assets for TDF, until TDF is 
established as a legal entity itself.

Not related to us, don't know what they intend in terms of rebranding.
