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.

To work - created a CWS for ace - great to have him involved fixing the OO.o artwork up (though he can't touch the (touchy) up-stream / default artwork).
Before Ricardo went on vacation for a week, he posted some more yast-gtk screenshots / details to the OpenSUSE wiki. Looking pretty nice. Helped get it into autobuild.
Did some analysis of string duplication in OO.o - of the ~730k of strings we hold post writer startup, 90% are duplicates, interesting: should be some easy fixes since they're immutable & ref counted.
Got VOIP conf-calls working with our Chinese hackers. Poked at the pmap output for a while, and knocked 24Mb off the OO.o thread stacks (of course not backed by any physical pages, but makes the numbers look better).

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.
