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, read mail, and analysis. I didn't pick up the fact
that Sun's public-cloud plans (which always seemed a little crazy)
are over
with Oracle in charge. I guess that is why OO.o is orphaned
out of Dave Douglas' "Cloud Computing and Developer Platforms"
group - fair enough; OO.o has never been a developer platform (not
one that either external (or apparently internal) developers wanted
to build on), and it's 'Cloud' credentials always seemed flaky to me.
Far better to focus on the value to customers there it seems to me.

It seems with Zonker's departure; that there is an exciting
opening opening
up as a community manager for OpenSUSE.
-
Watched some of the strategy videos at Oracle
wrt. Java and OO.o. Apparently no auto-cue for Michael Bemmer; odd.
Lots of emphasis on JavaFX in the Java spiel - which last I checked is
still deeply mired in non-openness. OO.o - nothing new, beyond a very fuzzy
screenshot of a 'web office' suite in the browser (sigh). It is amazing
to me - that the most important predictor of success and adoption
for these technologies is not presented: are we going to see genuine
open-ness ? will Sun be fixed where it has screwed up ? I suppose only
time will tell.
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.
