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 early; mail poking, interested by the news of IBM joining OpenJDK
the real un-answered question is: what sweetheart license terms have
IBM extracted from Oracle, or will they be distributing the code under
the GPLv2/classpath like everyone else ?
-
Prodded at dependency errors in the build; made the unix
quick-starter use libpng - since we require it anyway, and made it
conditional (only for distro builds: where we have a known libpng we
can link to). Made broffice branding disabled by default for
non-LibreOffice distros, to avoid surprises.
-
Fiddled with the website, spaetz moved the LibreOffice
Easy
Hacks page to the nicer DocumentFoundation (media) wiki.
Prodded the scp2 dependency problems.
-
Dinner, put babes to bed, chat with Patrick & Tor.
Chat with Mike. Pushed a fix to make scp2 (the installation magic)
re-compile if you re-configure LibreOffice with different options.
Merged a couple of community patches.
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.
