Use Libre Office instead of OOo.

On 28 September 2010, several members of the OpenOffice.org project formed a new group called "The Document Foundation" and made available a rebranded fork of OpenOffice.org, which they dubbed LibreOffice. The fork was created over fears that Oracle Corporation, after having recently purchased the suite's creator and main developer, Sun Microsystems, would either discontinue OpenOffice.org as it had done with OpenSolaris, or more likely take a generally authoritarian and less "open" approach in its development.
It was originally hoped that the LibreOffice name would be provisional, as Oracle was invited to become a member of The Document Foundation, and was asked to donate the OpenOffice.org brand to the project.[7] Oracle rejected the project and demanded that all members of the OpenOffice.org Community Council involved with The Document Foundation step down from the Council, citing a conflict of interest.[8]
The Go-oo project was discontinued in favour of LibreOffice.[9] Improvements made by the project are being merged into LibreOffice. Improvements made in other forks are expected to be incorporated into LibreOffice as well.[10][11]
As a result of the fork of OpenOffice.org into LibreOffice, and the resulting loss of developers, Oracle announced in April 2011 that it was terminating the commercial development of OpenOffice.[12]
