+Sorry, we (LibO community) have already discussed, yelled, screamed, 
+fought, negotiated, voted, tried to pay votes and to buy votes, 
+threatened and finally all agreed (well the majority did) that the name 
+was just fine. Yes, you can still find some dissenters, but, by and 
+large, the overall consensus was that the name was OK and great.
+
+So, it is called LibreOffice and some are calling it LO or LibO (I 
+personally call it this). We have gone through the scenarios of how to 
+pronounce it for the English members, but the latin speaking members do 
+no seem to have any problems with its pronunciation. And I think, the 
+general feeling on this is, just pronounce it the way you think is right.
+
+I think we went through this stage as well, if I remember correctly.
+
+Hope that helps.
