LibreOffice is a dumb name. Someone rename it.

I have been complaining that open source software suffers from dumb names for a while. In fact, when I presented the httperf talk at WWW2007, the track officiator specifically mentioned that very blog post when he introduced me.

So I can't help but feel squirmy whenever I hear or read the name LibreOffice.

I think this is a dumb name; like really (OpenOffice.org is really dumb too)
That said, there is evidence that some people like the name, so either they are crazy and should be first up against the wall when the revolution comes or genuinely don't mind it.

Anyway, I'm hung up on this. Seriously, I really am. I don't like it, and I want someone to make the effort to change it.
