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, Justin Schoeman sent in several nice ORBit2
/ threading fixes, good man. Fixed the intltool problems in
ooo-build.
- Uploaded a load of photos from the past
H. in S&A's dungarees, Tim & Julie's new
house, Cat and
James - practicing vacant expression,
H. and Anne,
Cheese & Wine + beautiful wife,
Camera + Nat frozen-in-mid-typing with Dave carefully adjusting
his power-pack,
Lion,
Elephants,
paranoid monkey, and finally Health and safety at work in
Indian [ high tensions lines ~feet from wooden scaffold ].
- Did a libbonoboui-2.4.1 release with misc. fixes. Got
passed around to different Sun people responsible for various bits,
from Herbert Duerr to IH of the extras team.
- Submitted my Gnome foundation board candidacy, aiming at
adding another 'near-miss' to my hat-trick of disqualification by
general Ximian over-popularity. Each year, it seems progressively
less clear that the board is really worth being on, perhaps it should
be marginally more relevant.
- Mail from IH forwards me to someone else, gave up and started
hacking the OpenSymbol font around, looks like lots of stuff is duplicated
but in fact the metrics are supposed to be different each time. Helped
get the Dasher
people setup with Gnome CVS accounts. Phone call from Eddie, interesting
as normal.
- Much tedious cut / pasting action of OpenSymbol later, have
a font that works quite nicely, still incomplete but something we can
work with, checked into CVS, pushed new snapshot ooo-fonts packages,
set off a new full re-build with the writer export bullet bug fixed
too, thanks to Will for doing the great initial digging here.
- Dinner and out to cell group, played guitar, had a fun
time, back to bed, stayed up late talking.

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,

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.
