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; poked at misc VBA pieces; Excel (it seems) has no
sensible way to get a regular timer callback - without excessive use of
native Win32 methods: shame.
- Getting the pre-release paralysing fatalism issue - nasty.
Massaged the bug list a little, reviewed some of our calc patches &
disabled a couple, pending Jody's review.
- Pleased to see Sun
dropping the SISSL - and yet sticking with the LGPL -
I'm still convinced the LGPL is the best license for OO.o, pwrt. it's
potential for re-usability in component form. Getting rid of the SISSL
will hopefully stop the most egregious abuses
of the freedoms granted in that license & encourage (a
little) more code sharing. Shame we didn't switch rather earlier. I
imagine this means the most huge sed of OO.o source code yet seen - and
given the 'performance' of collab.net's CVS server - no doubt most of
the source will still be tagged 'SISSL' for a month or so to come.
My content in this blog and associated images / data under
images/ and data/ directories are (usually)
created by me and (unless obviously labelled otherwise) are licensed under
the public domain, and/or if that doesn't float your boat a CC0
license. I encourage linking back (of course) to help people decide for
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.
