Network seems a bit bland and ambiguous to me. I think it's worth trying 
to generate a number of possibilities, some admittedly not very good, 
yet sometimes bad ideas lead to unexpected better ideas.
So if we begin to think of possible words which might fit into a 
framework like 'Libre Graphics X', here are some of my idease for X:

Affiliation; Amalgamation; Assembly (or Assemblage - a legitimate 
English word); Association; Cartel; Chamber; Coalition; Commission; 
Committee; Confederation; Confluence; Congress; Consortium; Convergence; 
Cooperative; Council; Ensemble; Enterprise; Family; Fellowship; Forum; 
Foundation; Fraternity; Gang; Group; Guild; Harmony; Institute; League; 
Legion; Mob; Nexus; Partnership; Posse; Service; Society; Squad; 
Syndicate; Tribe; Troupe; Union; Unity

Again, these are just ideas to toss around coming from a thesaurus search.
