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, dug at mail, considered life.
- It seems some people got scared (for inscrutable reasons)
about Novell's commitment to OpenDocument, OpenOffice etc. - just
to re-affirm, I'm a huge fan of OpenOffice period. There are
also some really nice things about OpenDocument, and we'll of course
continue to invest in improving it in the areas where it's
deficient. Hopefully that process will accelerate with both
Jody and Florian on-board, and we'll end up with an even better
OpenDocument standard.
- Separately, I was somewhat amazed to see
Simon Phipp's comments on the Novell/MS announcement. For a
while I have been hearing (from Sun) how great StarOffice is IPR-wise
due to Sun's settlement (cross-license ?) with Microsoft. Of course,
at some level Simon is a lone-voice of sanity inside Sun, but it
seems strange to be advertising on on hand the joys of a
proprietary product (StarOffice: with IPR protection) and
simultaneously slating Novell's moves to protect customers
using our Free Software product. Miguel has a nice write-up of various
other
typical coments.
- Poked bugzilla, internal admin, looked at an a11y
leak with Padraig, poked at Unit tests again. Team meeting,
posted action items. Phone call with Boston.
My content in this blog and associated images / data under

created by me and (unless obviously labelled otherwise) are licensed under

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.
