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.

- E-mail, tried to sort out the rampaging, pointless
and ill-informed process wrt. getting icon theming into OO.o.
Apparently - we need to create a high-contrast version of the
'Mono'(chrome) theme (already high-contrast) to get it in;
grief.
- Decided that the CollabNot infrastructure must have
been stolen whole-sale from some bad D&D game: if ye wish
to attain commit-level access for project foo, ye must first -
request
the 'Acolyte' role in the foo project. If approved, ye
need to accumulate power-points - the path lies through stealing
the magic sword of Blag and killing the evil goblin of Nurg. When
ye hast won through: heft your stone of Bling, and publicly
crunch the bones of Nodab (for luck) - while requesting stewardship
of the Can-Commet relic. Be warned - only the few get this far, and
the process must be repeated for each 'project'. Many fall at the
next mighty hurdle to await you: the mind-deadening, spine chilling
Specification task, with it's many difficult stages:
iTeamus-formationus-from-nothingus, QAEducationus,
endless-pointless-discussionus, and acutely-delayed-resultus.
The real shame is Sun didn't choose Collab to help strangle their
OpenSolaris baby.
- More paper writing for UKUUG, read Trow's nice beagle
slides. Built lots of stuff, nice to see so many pieces coming
together slowly.
- Cell group in the evening, up 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),
or anyone else.
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.
