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, tried to track down some (apparent) confusion between
system and internal boost breaking some tinderboxes; finally found
the issue some missing
use_unpacked,,boost dependencies.
Built the ESC bug stats.
-
Lydia & Janice over for dinner. Worked late; read some blogs -
lots of encouraging work going on in LibreOffice - a small fraction of
which is being blogged; my favourites today:
- Until recently it was fashionable to complain about regressions
in the RTF filters: the background being that we kicked out a huge scad of
old, ugly duplicate code and unified it with the existing MS format filters.
Anyhow - as of now, only 1 (minor performance) regression bug remains open that
I'm aware of. Miklos has also added a huge slew of features (things like not
loosing all the document after the first embedded formula). He just blogged
some pretty pictures of these
RTF
Drawing Object import.
- Another fun development is Fridrich's (spare time) project to work
on the Visio file formats which is yielding some great fruit - he has even
implemented Visio 2013 import support before that has shipped:
LibreOffice
Visio filter at LibreGraphics World.
- Also nice to see people arriving for the group photo from the LibreOffice
conference, hopefully a better shot to follow at some stage:
from the LibreOffice conference - lots of happy contributors (and a small number
of ODF plug-festers) in a wonderful venue, with many thanks to the German Federal
Ministry of Economics and Technology.

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,

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.
