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, quick mail chew; set off for Cambridge; into
the office to see Tracie; read a great report. Train on to
Edinburgh, worked on budgets. Extraordinarily frustrating
experience with intermittent connectivity and Evolution on
the train for some hours.
-
Enjoyed some of the talks at the Open Source Awards,
and a great meal mid-stream.
-
Extraordinarily honoured to recieve from Karen Sandler,
on behalf of Collabora Productivity, the UK Open Source Awards 2015 -
Best Organisation; gave a small acceptance spiel:
- It is an honour: in a Cloud obsessed world to have a
Commodity Client Software company represented. In
a world obsessed by Tablets: to encourage
Free Software that makes your PC/Mac keyboard really useful.
Naturally, we do have a Tablet & phone version making
good progress now (for the paper-haters).
- LibreOffice 80+ million users: more than the UK's
population. A brief correction - Collabora is only the 2nd
largest contributor to the code - the 1st is volunteers
in whose debt we all are. Everything we produce is Free Software.
- Collabora - has a mission we believe in: To make Open
Source rock (ono). We're betting our Productivity subsidiary
on ODF and LibreOffice.
- We're here to kill the old reasons not to deploy Free Software:
with long term maintenance for three to five years; rich
support options - backing our partner/resellers with a fast
code-fix capability; and finally killing complaints - we can
implement any feature, fix any bug, and integrate with any Line Of
Business app for you.
- In the productivity space - innovation is long overdue;
Free Software can provide that. Thanks for coming &
your support

It's also important to realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences
