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 late, still highly throaty. A full-time Novell
contract through the post, good stuff - chewed it over, cross
referenced it with everything, seems fair to me; read the
working at home document - it seems I need to buy an
approved first aid kit.
- Talked with Stefan regarding the OO.o community council
representative recently elected; it appears I got eliminated
from the final
3 nominees in a closed process; apparently the
community contributor representative should be a user
not a developer. It transpires that to be truly 31337 one has
to be a 'project lead' or 'co-lead', which means starting an
incubator project I guess. Somewhat disappointed that our
contribution is non-existant in the eyes of this process.
Still, hopefully the council will not actually do anything,
and thus nothing bad; still unsure as to the real purpose of
the whole exercise.
- Got on with hacking OO.o; amusing comment in the
font sub-setting logic: // NOTE: don't do this at home. Fixed
the fontmanager / fontconfig patch so that we can do font
sub-setting for PDF output; rather easier than expected - still
a tangled mess in there though.
- Talked to Jody - who it seems has been investigating
UNO integration stuff, which sounds cool. Poked Owen about the
gdk_threads_enter/leave, he's thinking about it which is great;
rather vital for decent gtk+/VCL integration. Continued
getting Martin sorted out.
- Dinner, bed early.

In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my

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.
