Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

Up at 3:45am lovely; taxi to Stansted. Pleased to see that, as predicted, there is nothing fundamentally innovative enough in Java to justify significant patent protection. Hopefully that will encourage the use of OpenJDK in various remaining contexts. It is interesting to see the contrast to that in the UK where they are reminded that:
"To members of the jury. Her Majesty’s judges remind you of the solemn obligation upon you not to reveal, in any circumstances, to any person, either during the trial or after it is over, anything relating to it which has occurred in this room while you have been considering your verdict.
Taxi to airport, flight to Berlin; DB to Spandau; checked into the hotel; to the venue. Met up with a besuited Kendy, and Italo, Jaqueline, Florian & more. Lunch with TimJ too, fixed a rich seam of silly bugs in the Android backend.
Back for booth duty, met a number of people, gave some demos. Eventually went off to the LinuxTag party. Good to see lots of familiar faces and catch up with them. Started hacking on slideware for until late; taxi back with Jaqueline, Florian & co. Bed rather late.

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.
