Michael Meeks - Distinguished Engineer at Novell
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Linux Desktop, present and future"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A light-hearted look at the desktop, from past to present, to Novell's
role, and vision. Michael will prod some of the new toys coming into
the desktop, from promising technologies to curvaceous applications,
and meditate on the wonders of our new on-line world.

Michael will shamelessly plug whatever project is interesting today,
and attempt to wildly extrapolate the near future, for people's
amusement - to rob Gascoigne: "I never predict anything, and I never
will!".

Michael is a Christian and enthusiastic believer in Free software. He
very
much enjoys working for Novell where as a member of the Desktop
research team  he has worked on desktop infrastructure and applications,
particularly the CORBA, Bonobo, Nautilus and accessibility, amongst
other interesting things.

He now works full time leading the OpenOffice.org team. Prior to this
he worked for Quantel gaining expertise in real time AV editing and
playback achieved with high performance focused hardware / software
solutions.
