That's not a problem. We don't want to flame, though.

We need to shorten the release, I think.

Must be listed as OpenOffice.org. Someone else owns rights to "openoffice".

Ernie Ball. Ford. Some oil company. The mars explorer ( that failed, so
maybe we can skip it :). What about companies here in town? Companies that
don't make computer components would be great.

Just tosed this in the press release. I'll post that next. We need to
finalize that and get it released.
If you like the suggestions from Deepak incorporate them and get them to me
as a quote. Please fix mentions of OpenOffice.org, so I don't have to do
"OpenOffice[.org]" because that'll confuzilate people.
