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; mail poking, interested by the news of IBM joining OpenJDK
the real un-answered question is: what sweetheart license terms have
IBM extracted from Oracle, or will they be distributing the code under
the GPLv2/classpath like everyone else ?
-
Prodded at dependency errors in the build; made the unix
quick-starter use libpng - since we require it anyway, and made it
conditional (only for distro builds: where we have a known libpng we
can link to). Made broffice branding disabled by default for
non-LibreOffice distros, to avoid surprises.

Fiddled with the website, spaetz moved the LibreOffice
Easy
Hacks page to the nicer DocumentFoundation (media) wiki.
Prodded the scp2 dependency problems.
-
Dinner, put babes to bed, chat with Patrick & Tor.
Chat with Mike. Pushed a fix to make scp2 (the installation magic)
re-compile if you re-configure LibreOffice with different options.
Merged a couple of community patches.
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.
