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.

Mail, news, Clarity, fluff. Lunch with Jill. Filed
misc bugs with traces. Chased an Evo. bug for a while, some
odd combination of threading, gdbus, glib signals taking a
gstrv, and some unpleasant memory corruption.
-
Boggled at Intel buying McAffe - what a strange
acquisition, attempted somehow to detect an underlying
strategy ... there is clearly a missing piece somewhere.

Enjoyed Richard Fontana's
Copyright Assignment slides
from LinuxCon - particularly the conclusion slide which I
reproduce:
- Formal contribution agreements are Bad:
- No real legal advantages
- Signals basic lack of legal confidence in FOSS
- Negates social/technical advantages of FOSS
- Ethical concerns
- More justifiable if assignee is nonprofit fiduciary
- Otherwise, best policies are informal, pure FOSS, documented
-
Dinner early, conference call late; awaited Tom & Becky
who clearly were enjoying themselves too much in Cambridge.
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.
