So don't change the name just let people drop the .org if they want to, in day to day discussion or even in the documentation.
Otherwise we'll be forever reminding journalists and the like to please add the .org.
This writer and journalist uses "OpenOffice.org" and "OOo" well:
"Oxer further went on to speculate about other open source applications that could succeed within the Windows desktop space: "Now with OpenOffice.org (OOo) approaching a 2.0 release, the momentum is going to build. If there is a ‘get OOo’ campaign it will get a huge response. OOo displaces software that’s actually very expensive, so the imperative is even greater than with a Web browser that’s essentially a give-away item already".
Although Oxer admits that "the inertia to change is also higher with an office package," and that a large part of what makes Firefox so popular is its lack of security holes when compared with IE, he said: "There are also many security holes in MS Office, although they haven’t received as much attention. The danger of scripting attacks etcetera is very real.
"However, when businesses start to see they can stick Firefox and OOo on all their machines and not only save significant amounts of money but also improve security, it will start to happen. I think OOo needed something like Firefox to open the door to the concept. Then of course if you step up one level, Linux needs something to open the door as well. Moving to free and open source applications (FOSS) on the desktop is the first step. After that, it's not so scary to consider moving to Linux lock, stock and barrel". "
