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.

Off to the conference bright & early; worked with
Markus at simplifying my slides & translating to German.
He presented them well auf Deutsch to the German business
track. Then back to the main track.
-
Enjoyed the CloudOn talk; lovely to see them re-using
LibreOffice on iOS for their app. Shachar Binyamin's talk had some great highlights.
They've been deploying LibreOffice as an option for their users
for around a month and:
- ~50% of users opt-in to using their LibreOffice based
editing app (vs. a remoted MS Office from the cloud)
- Of those that switch, 90% choose to continue
to use their LibreOffice app vs. MS Office given a free
choice
- There is better retention for users that use their
LibreOffice based App, than those using MS Office remotely:
most encouraging.
-
Presented a Keynote on what Collabora does for our
customers:
-
Lunch; met a number of interesting guys in the hallway track.
-
Amused by the contagious attraction of the more 'interesting'
definitions of Volunteer (ie. paid full-time to do the job) that
seem to be catching on these days, with so many Russian Volunteer
service-persons in Ukraine; I've seen that problem before somewhere.
-
Rather humbled to listen to some of my guys' talk: what a team !
-
Out for some hacking in the evening, ate, met up with partners,
customers, talked through a number of interesting areas of development
with some bright new students - up v. late talking with Mathias,
Thorsten, and others.

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.
