It's a recursive acronym in the same way that GNU and TINT are recursive
acronyms.
Like, GNU stands for Gnu's Not Unix.
similarly: OOGS:
OOGS is
Open
Groupware
Standards
... OOGS.
Thus the "extra" O :-)
Also, "Groupware" is one word AFAIK so no W in my version. Plus, "OOGS"
is pronounceable, vs. OGWS. OGS is pronounceable, but it doesn't have
the cool FSF-ish recursive anagram :-)
