Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

Up excessively early, worked a little; backed up the laptop, walked to the station. Train/Eurostar/Tubeness to Paris / OpenWorldForum - wrote talk on the way. Caught up with Ralf quickly.
Met up with Dave, Leslie, Robyn and co. found our room; listened to a diverse series of interesting talks, and gave one in the end on communities & relationships.
Interested by Dave Neary's dichotomy between more efficient tooling for collaboration (taking less time), and the side-effect of decreased personal interaction leading to poorer relationships.
Quick chat to Dave, Lars, Richard F, Bradley K, and more. Tube to Eurostar. Finally got annoyed enough to do something about the big dependencies problem - elided .hdl and collapsed internal boost headers to a single dep, and - ~50% smaller aggregate deps, so should be faster to load - needs a full-from-clean test build really.
Spent some time chewing on Daniel 9, with particular help from Gordon Hugenberger's 70 weeks write-up.

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.
