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.

J. out on a trip to the tower of London with H,N,M.

Mail; continued debugging and polishing to a deadline. Interested
by the GNU
Kind communication controversy. Interested and pleased that the strange
mix of libertarian, campaigning and (perhaps overly) permissive roots of the
GNU project are still being championed by Richard, despite other
views being represented. Still thinking through my take on the pronoun
topic which intersects respect, integrity, truthfulness and much more. I find
the Roman Catholic compromise
interesting. What do you do when faced with a dogmatic requirement to call
someone's interpretation of faith and hierarchy the one true/universal
view ? What if you profoundly, but respectfully disagree with chunks of their
doctrine and practice ? Do you go for Papist (rather divisive), some
re-define the term to mean the universal set of all true Christians ? (but that
doesn't help with the identity question). How about a fudge that acknowledges the
chosen name and also the real identity of the one making the claim, in some
suitable way (ie. Roman Catholic). Of course, there are plenty of weaker
truth claims out there Unification Church
vs. ~pejorative Moonies etc.
Interestingly google tells me that these days catholic means
"including a wide variety of things; all-embracing" with synonyms of:
"diverse, eclectic ...". Perhaps a good thing to aspire to for communities
seeking to accomodate and encourage dialog between those of widely varying ethical
pre-suppositions.

Prodded at the Chrome mobile device profiling bits - rather an excellent
tool-set.

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),

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.
