Draft Blog post: OpenOffice.org is now Apache OpenOffice
It was part of the original AOO 3.4 release plan to have a blog post
that explained the rebranding. That didn't occur due to the Roller
issues that occurred then.
But better late than never.
Here is the draft:
https://blogs.apache.org/preview/OOo/?previewEntry=openoffice_org_is_now_apache
Improvement are welcome.

Rob,
+1!
Hope you are having a great weekend!
Patrick
PS: Thanks to you and everyone who has put in so much effort to make
OpenOffice an Apache project!

Yes, the text if fine. But with the both logos it would underline the
message perfectly.

Thanks, but the issue is I am not able to upload new images to the
blog. It appears to be broken, or at least disabled. So I need a URL
of an image I can reference. The logo you sent, is it on the website
or wiki someplace? I could grab the URL from that.

Yes, much better.
What about changing the logos? The new one on top?
Or side by side with a comment like:
"From the past <old logo> to the future <new logo>.
OK, good night for today.

I've no clue howto re-scale the image. But maybe it's OK to limit the
display of the image in the blog post. When switching to HTML mode (via
the "Toggle HTML source" icon) you can enter the following:
...
<p align="center"><img height="100" width="200"
src="http://www.openoffice.org/images/ooo-logo.png" /> </p>
...
<p align="center"><img height="100" width="200"
src="http://www.openoffice.org/images/AOO_logos/OOo_Website_v2_copy.png"
/> </p>
...
Then both logos will be scaled to 100x200px of size. In the preview of
blog roller it looks fine.

The line "The ".org" is now in Apache" makes no sense at all.
The only people who will understand the intended meaning are those who already know all about
the migration to Apache and the renaming process. The line itself is rubbish and meaning less.

I get a security exception if I try to upload a new image to the media
library. So right now I can only link to existing images hosted on
the website (or wiki). The new logo was easy to find, since it is on
our home page. I added that.
Is there a URL for the old logo, in a similar size (150px high) ?

Putting this in the title would probably take away from the nice opening
paragraph.
Maybe leave it where it is but show as --
The ".org" is now in Apache.
Then I think people then might get a better idea about what this means.
But, I think the blog post is great! I think many folks out there are still
very confused about a lot of this.
So, let's do it!

It is a reference that as an organization OpenOffice is
now part of Apache, which is also a .org .
I think it is misplaced: it could be either the title or
the last sentence which would make it stronger. But I
dont have strong feelings about it.

FWIW, I think upon graduation we should also make emphasis
that being in Apache is a fulfillment of the original
promise from SUN to give the code to an independent
organization with a governance model based on the ASF.
Nowhere better to fulfill that promise than in the ASF !

I see that this comment got added but I can't really say I understand
what it means. I wonder if others might have the same problem.
No need to take it out if "we" feel strongly about it, but ????

I would add one line to wrap things up:
The .org is now in Apache.
