Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

Plugged away at mail; printed expense claims etc. Back to bug triage, and fixing.
Nice to see Simon Phipp's new company ForgeRock announced. Interesting to see their contributor agreement:
It leaves every contributor as the copyright holder of their own code, either licensed to the community under the same license as the rest of the project (CDDL in most cases) or shared with ForgeRock so we can license it out under CDDL while we hold it in trust for the community.
That looks rather positive, albeit somewhat confusing. If the concept of licensing under the CDDL is unpleasant (why I have no idea), it appears you can pick Apache2 as the code license for your chunk instead. I'll be interested to see how it pans out, cf. the FAQ.
On another front, that of Trademark policies the malign effects over over-rigid control bite; personally I'd love to be an IceWeazel user and know I can fearlessly patch my browser if I need to, naturally with some fair creditation for all the great work the Mozilla project do.
Lunch, prodded at my extruder; with the I2C bus re-connected, getting a little extruder movement, but not nearly enough - and not regular; annoyingly odd - plenty of smoke and yellowing ABS too; rather a nasty odor really.
More bug fixing, chat with Vuntz. Managed to find time away from the cliff-face to hack on bootchart2 a bit. Packaged it for MeeGo, and prodded at the improved task logging (capturing all the arguments), proc-events following (to avoid loosing who-forked-whom data), and so on.

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.
