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.

Chewed mail in the morning; wrote mail - hacking is much
more fun than E-mail it seems. Lunch.
-
Pushed feature/gtk3 to master, that should make it easier
for people to find. It touches a large number of the unix VCL
backends, so testing appreciated. It implements:
- implements an (unfinished) but 'pure' gtk3 port
- avoiding direct X library linkage
- enables broadway / web-office prototype
- cleanly re-uses svp for client-side rendering
- churns synchronous debug, performs badly,
is unfinished etc. [ should default to off ]
- improves the svp (headless) rendering code
- avoids direct X library linkage
- thus making targetting Android / iOS possible
- substantially accelerates rendering by working
around many clipping performance issues
- adds damage detection to svp rendering surfaces
- partial / aborted attempt to make svp fully cross-platform,
blocked on an internal freetype or more re-factoring.
- re-factoring / cleanup
- shares lots of code between gtk, svp and gen backends
lots of cut/paste code eliminated
- ports lots of gtk2 code to use gdk wrappers instead of
raw X, to share with gtk3
- re-working of misc. legacy cross-platform code.
Build / run-time testing much appreciated as/when tinderboxen
produce binaries. Chat with Thorsten.
-
Misc. idl Windows cross-compile, warning while re-builds
happened. Re-wrote a custom GSource for timer handling to avoid an
annoying warning on older glibs. Downloaded the latest openSUSE 12.1
release candidate.
-
Admin, downloaded some SDKs to play with.

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.
