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.

Up early; mail chew, worked away reviewing and polishing the
Unity menus work from Canonical / Bjoern / Antonio Fernandez of
Aentos. For the curious
pictures of this and more are here - it should ship working out of the box
in 4.0. [Update:] - turns out I forgot to mention the other
heros supporting this nice integration: Alberto Ruiz, Ryan Lortie and
Ted Gould - thanks guys !

Lunch. Baak to mail, admin etc. TDF Board call.

A few quick thoughts in response to Armin (an IBM employee):
Of course we're grateful to all who have contributed code to LibreOffice,
and we will do our best to credit them where appropriate as we build out
our 4.0 release notes; thanks Armin. We're currently in a 4.0 feature-freeze /
release crunch, with the code shaping up really nicely with contributions from
hundreds of volunteers. No-one should get the idea that LibreOffice will blindly
include whatever gets into Apache OpenOffice into our code-base going forward.
That is emphatically not the case - any code that is included will be
reviewed rather later, with a priority and preference given to code first
contributed to LibreOffice. If you haven't tried it - why not jump into hacking on
LibreOffice today: our codebase gets rapidly cleaner and prettier but
we're always in need of help. One great live topic of today is the new:
Widget
Layout work in VCL that makes the UI look significantly prettier.
My content in this blog and associated images / data under
images/ and data/ directories are (usually)
created by me and (unless obviously labelled otherwise) are licensed under
the public domain, and/or if that doesn't float your boat a CC0
license. I encourage linking back (of course) to help people decide for
themselves, in context, in the battle for ideas, and I love fixes /
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,
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.
