Stuff Michael Meeks is doing
|
|
This is my (in)activity log. You might like to visit my employer
Novell which is an amazing company, and also
Dell who in days of yore provided me with a
free laptop for Gnome development / conferences.
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.

Up; builders started knocking through a nearby wall.
Luckily off to Cambridge today - got the train. Interested to
read Glyn Moody's thoughts
on the so-called open source business model - excerpting
viciously:
... owning the copyright ... introduces an asymmetry
into the collaborative development process ... breaks the underlying
contract of mutual benefit with companies and people that contribute
code. And without the reciprocity, I think the urge to contribute
is bound to diminish, because there is likely to be an underlying
feeling that external contributors are being unfairly exploited
A very healthy dose of common-sense that applies well to OO.o.

Met up with Saad and Wei-Ming at the computer-lab, got OO.o
building for them, lunch with Ross too. Back in the evening.
In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my
own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Novell, The
Lithuanian Gov't or Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's also important to
realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences,
bio.
or fun.
