Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

This is my (in)activity log. You might like to visit
Collabora
Productivity a subsidiary of Collabora focusing on LibreOffice support and
services for whom I work.
Also if you have the time to read this sort of stuff you could enlighten
yourself by going to Unraveling Wittgenstein's net or if
you are feeling objectionable perhaps here.
Failing that, there are all manner of interesting things to read on
the LibreOffice Planet news
feed.

- Up early, chewed mail - Dave Camp storming
away at the bugs, good man. Got GnomeDB RPMs from
here and a new gtk-sharp RPM from
here. Checked out monodoc, and ... after fixing the
makefiles - instant demo, much more productised than
expected.
- OpenOffice released a preliminarly version
1.0.2 the other day; what the notes don't say is that
this version should be much much more buildable on real,
modern stock systems - uses autoconf slightly more sensibly
etc. thanks mostly to the tireless work of Kevin, Chris, and
Ken, great work.
- Padraig discovered a horrific (but trivially
fixable) 'linc' bug - amazing, fixed it and pushed
linc-1.0.1. Re-built the panel to get the pager applets,
Dan's fixing that in our snaps. Fixed a libbonoboui popup
bug, folded in the positioning improvement, and did a
libbonoboui-2.2.0 release.
- Installed
gstreamer-0.4.2 from the apt packages, couldn't get
apt-rpm to work again (didn't like my wierd RPM database).
- Got several things under control, but fontilus
being a stickler for later Xft,freetype versions seemingly
decided to risk switching the foundations around.
- Dave Camp located the great lifecycle evilness
in nautilus - a hero of our time; a bug of my own creation
sorry to say.
- Built gstreamer, gst-plugins, libgsf,
libmrproject, mrproject - good. Struggled with gstreamer,
discovered J. had kindly packed for me; bed late.

themselves, in context, in the battle for ideas, and I love fixes /
improvements / corrections by private mail.
In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my
own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Collabora, SUSE,
Novell, The Document Foundation, Spaghetti Hurlers (International),

It's also important to realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences
or fun.
