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.

Poked mail, listened to parts of the Nokia charge into
Windows Phone 7. Sounds like a sad day for the Linux ecosystem, or
at least a lost opportunity. Things like "We have moved some
future MeeGo device designs and re-purposed these for Windows
Mobile 7" (though still committed to releasing one MeeGo
phone), "R&D as a %age of revenue is too high ... significant
job reductions ... v. substantial use of out-sourced talent".
On Qt "We will evaluate the role of qt at the low end ...
[ MeeGo / Symbian ], but we are not going to put Qt on the windows
mobile phone, as an indication of our sincerity ... introducing
another dev platform on windows phone could serve to fork the
platform ... silverlight, XNA, and other capabilities.... Qt will
not be a single technology that abstracts all of the Nokia devices
going forward. [ quotes potentially somewhat mis-redacted, my
typing is not that fast ]. Elop also extremely bullish on Windows
on tablets too it seems, sad.

By some fluke happenstance, gtk3
got released today.

Spent much of the day merging branches. Worked late,
while J. did some work for Tim.

In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my

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.
