Meeks is a free softwarehacker 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" linkingoptimization.
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]
