More mail chew; worked down the blogging backlog, but didn't
get to slide up-load (yet). Lunch with Helena & Rose. Filed
expenses. Played with EC2 - very impressed by the (low) latency,
and performance; much better than the NOMAD rumours had me believe.
Up lateish, caught up with mail slowly. Chased what turned
out to be a kernel problem plaguing openSUSE 12.1 and making yast2
un-responsive.
Re-synched feature/gtk3 to master. Is it only me that
experiences a total-irony-failure when those who repeatedly fail
to meet their commitments to open their code then can't
find other people's that are in plain sight ? Still, I should
straighten out & publish my slides, written in the minutes
before giving them to help out (no doubt).

Team de-brief in the morning, pizza with the team; only just
made the Eurostar home; poked at mail on the train and slept.
Home in the evening, good to hug the babies and read some
bedtime stories; deadly pleased to see that Tollef has upgraded the
freedesktop bugzilla to 4.0, great chap. Bed early - exhausted.
Back to La Cantine for joint talks, great to see Kris porting
LibreOffice to compile with LLVM already (so we can get emulated Windows
compile warnings, far faster than we can on windows). Out for lunch at
an English pub nearby (odd).
Wrapped up the conference, with sad 'byes to many hackerly types.
And out for dinner with the team; wandered at great length trying to find
another cluster of hackers in a Scottish pub.
Up early; off to IRILL slightly late for Kohei's talk, but enjoyed
that - good to see some progress on the calc internals. Tried to sync. the
rooms on two floors' schedule, and adapt to last minute program changes.
Out for lunch with the Lanedo guys; back for more great hackerly
talks, and a pottage of misc. Lightning talks, some of them arranged only
minutes before we started: lots of useful grist there and great speakers.
Surprisingly pleased by the 'star field' effect from an ...
Up earlyish, off to la Cantine, somehow just in time for the
start of our talk (with Italo & Florian), annoyingly lost a number
of images from my slides (good to work with the latest bleeding edge
development version).
Frantic day of meeting & talking to interesting people,
lunch with Simon & Norbert, gave a GSOC summary talk for Matus
after that. Met up with Mike from Mozilla to talk performance, tried
to compare the Lightning talks session at the end.

During the LibreOffice Conference, The Document Foundation announced two advanced development projects which will become products sometimes in late 2012 or early 2013:
LibreOffice Online Prototype (demo video).
LibreOffice port project to Android and iOS.
The press release, with more details, is here.
Spreadsheet of working hours
Breakfast with the team, and off to La Cantine - nice venue,
quick team / brainstorming meeting while people arrived. Lots of
meeting up with people.
SC meeting and lunch, SC Q&A, drinks - did a few demos
of fun / new pieces. Out for dinner with the Lanedo guys.
Worked on slides for introductory talk, while Andras slept,
then GSOC bits in stead of Matus, and a lightning talk.
Up early, restless wife - hopefully recovered enough to cope
with the babes by now. Train to Cambridge, started reading the
Innovator's Dillema - nothing like being late to the party:
presumably by now it paints a useful anti-pattern.
St Pancras, Eurostar, random bug fix. Got to Paris, to La
Defence, caught up with the lads; eventually on to the Hotel to wait
for more of them etc.
Up; waded through mail all morning, fixed a Mac tinderbox
issue or two on my branch, dug into an interesting unit test bug.
Lunch. More jaw pain, hmm.
Plugged away at some pre-conference collateral / slide-ware /
bug fixing, mailing etc. what fun.
Dave over in the evening, good to catch up with his Venice
trip, life & times quickly.

Up earlyish - babes staying quiet longer in the morning
these days. Breakfast, NCC, preached on Daniel 4 - Pride and
God's sovereignty.
Dropped N. off at her friend's house. Back for lunch
with Pete, Dianne & Lydia. J. feeling rather better
mercifully.
Applied slugging in the afternoon, painful jaw (somehow),
deferred dentistry catching up no doubt.
Up, tidied up / cleaned the house, washing bits while J.
sorted through the piles of paper that spontaneously grow around
the place. I'm convinced that a junk-mail fuelled home-heating
system would keep us warmer, and tidier.
Hacked a little at a vcl / headless / svp related
annoyance, isEmpty doesn't detect emptiness in B2IRanges (it
seems).
Prepped sermon in the evening until late.
Waded through mail, and media bits, poked at security issues.
Misc. fun - hacked away at the VCL re-factoring, finding and fixing a
number of curious bugs.
Book of reservations, Booking list
Up early. Prodded mail, call with Kevin Hunter, then Ludwig.
Disappointed to see the good work being done in LibreOffice
to improve our security & vigilance (as clearly disclosed well
in advance to all related vendors and projects on the multi-vendor
list) twisted by people outside the (necessarily private) lists.
The process, combined with some (lack of) response problems from
Mitre is not perfect, for sure, but hopefully, the punch-line
is clear; if you're not using the latest verisons preferably 3.4.3
or (for ...
Took babes to school to spare J's foot. Chewed mail,
setup Windows cross-compile on my main development laptop,
and wondered if it could be shared with a native Linux
compile to save space; interesting.
Finally got to splitting out the fixes Markus needs
for unit testing macros during the build. Lunch, back to
build fixing. Enjoyed Alex's app
bundle prototype, looks good.
Freedom in Christ course in the evening.
During this hack week I worked on making LibreOffice build also against the MacOSX 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7 SDKs. We had some support for that in the configure.in already, but it had apparently never been tested what then happens if one actually tries something other than the 10.4 SDK.Mostly, with some changes here and there, and except for 10.7, I got it to work, and also the resulting LibreOffice built against the 10.6 SDK seemed to work.Building against the 10.7 SDK fails because some APIs that were deprecated already in 10.4, but the Mac code in LibreOffice still uses, have ...
Parents arrived for breakfast, and dropped lots of
good things off, on their way up north to Yorkshire. Got to
work, chewed mail, chat with Holger.
Helped comfort & take J. to the Doctor's after an
unfortunate garden-fork, foot collision.
Worked away at debugging some unit test problems with
Markus, seems CppUnit initializes and then de-initializes /
re-initializes much of the LibreOffice core before/after each
test. Encouraging in some ways, that we'd not noticed that
before, re-worked things ...
