Michael Meeks is a British software developer. He is primarily known for his work on GNOME, OpenOffice.org and now LibreOffice[citation needed]. He has been a contributor to the GNOME project for a long time working on its infrastructure and associated applications, particularly CORBA, Bonobo, Nautilus and GNOME accessibility.[1] He has worked at Novell, SuSE and then Collabora.[2]
Meeks is a free software hacker who has contributed a lot of time to decreasing program load time.[3] He created the direct binding, hashvals, and dynsort implementations for GNU Binutils and glibc.[3] Most of this work was focused at making OpenOffice.org and now its fork LibreOffice start faster,[3] and was later subsumed into the "-hash-style=gnu" linking optimization.
He supports LibreOffice and Evolution as the free software solutions for document editing and groupware.[4]
Meeks is a Christian, which he says made him think about the moral aspects of his own illegal use of non-free software and converted him finally to free software.[1]
