Why not just be a bit more accurate in your presentation and calling it

"Project Renaissance - Usability engineering an updated user interface for OpenOffice.org"

Taking a couple of ideas straight from newer MS Office, and then spending all the time in statistical analysis of UI clicks + various usability studies + user questionnaires is very clearly plain usability engineering. Which you guys are probably very familiar with.

But calling that design is quite overstatement.
