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, pleased to see the
fantastic
cross-compilation work from Tor, Kendy, Fridrich & others. What with it being SUSE
hack-week Kendy's been working on getting the resulting binaries to run; which they now
do (under WINE etc.). So we finally have a live Linux -> Windows cross compiled version,
built entirely with Free Software tooling, inside a repeatable Linux environment. If you
have Kendy's hardware, that means you can build from scratch in under 15mins cf.
tsc
minutes. Hopefully this'll mean more frequent Win32 developer snapshots and more
reliable. Played with the build - finally the chance to test some Windows specific
improvements that I've wanted to hack on for a while. With Lanedo to work on MSI
packaging, hopefully we'll have a complete cross-compilation story for Windows for
LibreOffice 3.6 / 4.0.

Chewed & spewed more mail. Slogged away at a silly with calc unit
tests and locale setting. Finally got around to writing and sending my candidacy
for the TDF board elections.

Up late talking with Chris & Max.

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 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.
