Michael Meeks is a software developer and was hired as a Ximian developer by Nat Friedman and Miguel de Icaza in mid 2000. He is primarily known for his work on GNOME and OpenOffice.org. He has been a major contributor to the Gnome project for a long time working on Gnome infrastructure and associated applications, particularly CORBA, Bonobo, Nautilus and Gnome accessibility.
Meeks is an open source hacker who has contributed a lot of time to decreasing program load time. He created the direct binding, hashvals, and dynsort implementations for GNU Binutils and glibc. Most of this work was focused at making OpenOffice.org start faster, and was later subsumed into the—hash-style=gnu linking optimization. His work on iogrind also allows applications to be profiled and optimized to first-time (or 'cold') start far more rapidly. Meeks now works full-time on OpenOffice.org.
Previously he worked for Quantel gaining expertise in real time AV editing and playback achieved with high performance focused hardware/software solutions.
Meeks is a fundamentalist Christian [1].
