ASSUMPTION: The OOo trademark is assigned to the ASF as expected

First point of call is the ASF trademark policy [1]. If you are 
confident your use complies with the policy then no formal permission is 
required.

If you feel you need formal permission then trademarks@apache.org is the 
contact point as described in the policy.

The trademarks committee will either grant or refuse permission (usually 
after consulting with the OO.o PMC).
