Please note new time slot

Schedule: Thursday 2025-11-20T16:00:00Z :world_map: :date:

Sailfish OS Community Calendar (ICS format)

Please note changing of clock on last Sunday of October (standard time).

Even if you do not participate, topics tend to generate discussion. I want to see discussion happening. Thus, I’m proposing that we’d use 10mins as minimum topic duration. Maximum 6 topics a week.

We agreed 9th October to extend meeting time slot to 90mins. Same time slot still.

Topic proposals for the meeting:

  • Add your name/nick using the template below to suggest a topic.
  • Indicate how much time you’ll need so we can time-box the meeting accordingly.
  • Please be as thorough as you can with your question/topic.
  • If you can’t make the meeting please ask and name a substitute.

It is expected that you show up and present your topic, or name a substitute and make sure they attend in your absence. These IRC meetings are for real time participation and live discussions, otherwise you can post the topic on here and get responses that way.

We need you to be present to clarify details in the topic, and to ensure the discussion is leading to the answers you are looking for! If you do not participate or your question/topic isn’t clear enough it will be postponed. Also: always ask for more time than you anticipate your topic needs!

Please have your topics ready at least 3 days before the meeting so we can prepare good answers. Topics announced afterwards will be postponed to the next meeting.

Template for topic proposal: (post your topic proposals as comments to this forum topic).

Was reading through the logs and wanted to say that weston is quite buggy for a reference implementation. I use it for quite a while.

Maybe a different library like wl roots -which from a person i trust didn’t hear nice things- or liouvre might be a better solution than using weston.

Or maybe something from scratch.

  • Name/IRC nick: pasik

  • Topic: Opensourcing the sailfish-compositor poc

  • Some details about the topic: As discussed in the Nov 6th 2025 Community meeting there exists a poc of a separate sailfish-compositor (done as a hobby project by one of the sailors), which adds more modern wayland features/protocols (eg. xdg-shell support) to sailfishos. It would be really nice if this poc was opensourced to allow community participation in development and testing, as getting the sailfish compositor to support xdg-shell and other modern wayland protocols is really important to get more native apps and frameworks working properly in sailfishos. What are Jolla’s plans about this?

  • Approx. time needed: 10 mins

  • Topic: sailfish-browser esr102 status

  • Some details about the topic: What’s the latest status on updating the sailfish-browser to gecko esr102 ? I believe earlier there was issues getting the new webrender code working on sailfishos. Is that still the main remaining issue? Is there something the community could/should help with?

  • Approx. time needed: 5 mins

It’s highly likely I’m not able to make it to the meeting tonight unfortunately, but you have the questions, and I’m sure others have comments on the topics aswell :slight_smile:
