That would be ideal, even if it is a relationship to some mysterious
"Apache Foundation" ;-)

And maybe some time we can think of Apache-wide and project-specific
titles that could reenforce that connection.

In any case, we need content first.   So I'll drop the thread back to
ooo-dev on my next note, which will be to brainstorm about some
videos.  We'll ping you again when we have something concrete.
