Please note new time slot

Sailfish OS Community Calendar (ICS format)

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’ll continue with the extended 90 mins meeting duration.

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).

  • Topic: Unavailable Harbour applications
  • Some details about the topic:

The Jolla Store/Harbour suffers some scarcity of apps.

One of the issues is older apps which are not available to newer releases because of compatability issues or not having an aarch64 build available.

Could Jolla provide a digest of apps in Harbour which:

  • do not have an aarch64 version ( or more generally do not support all three official architectures)
  • have SFOS Version compatibility detected so they do NOT support SFOS 5+
  • if possible, contact information or web link to the author (of course, GPDR-compliant, so no names or email addresses etc), but maybe have a source link, or appear like they would be open source.

Note I’m not asking that this become a feature of Harbour, just a one-time (or maybe in the future yearly or so) report.
If Jolla can or will not provide such a report, is there a way for someone to generate it themselves, e.g. by analyzing the repodata xml files from the store repos?

The goal would be so active community devs could pick up development for some of those apps if feasible.
Similar to the efforts that have happened in e.g. Apps that haven't been ported to aarch64 and Apps that haven't been ported to aarch64 (Store)

  • Approx. time needed: 5min?
  • Substitute (optional): n/a

  • Topic: Process for taking over maintenance of apps in Harbour

  • Some details about the topic:
    As a follow-up to the question above, what is the preferred way of taking over an app published in Harbour?
    What are prerequisites, and how does one contact Jolla to attempt it?

  • Approx. time needed: max 5 min

  • Substitute (optional): n/a

My experience is:

  1. You must get the original author in the loop (have succeeded a number of times, failed once)
  2. Once they communicate agreement, Jolla does he rest.

  • Topic: What comes first out of beta: Xperia 10 IV & V or J2

  • Some details about the topic: Many of us bought those Sony phones in good faith on you. Unfortunately they are not “daily drivable” for many. Personally missing camera is a showstopper for me. Now I wonder if I should buy J2 since only a few hundreds (YAY) are available for preorder or wait for nonbeta Sony images.

  • Approx. time needed: 5 minutes

  • Substitute (optional): I’ll try to be there but guess it’s not needed anyway.

  • Name/IRC nick: CLMA31

  • Topic: Clarification of technical specs of J2 (and maybe even confirmation what should we call it :wink: ) to one place

  • Some details about the topic: I think most of the phone specs are now official, SoC, supported bands, camera modules etc. Problem is that those are a little bit scattered and would be amazing if they were added to the product page of J2. When trying to give these information to people online, it can be quite tricky to find them even myself.

  • Approx. time needed: Written answers is enough here, 5min(?)

  • Substitute (optional): N/A, unfortunately can’t be present

  • Topic: “FAQ” topics in the “Getting Started” category

  • Some details about the topic: There has been great community effort to create FAQ section for Getting started category. @attah raised the following comment:
    ”So how do we proceed? Would Jolla be ok to promote this to official status for the forum? Shameless ping @rainemak .
    The FAQ is looking quite nice at this point. Could do with a once-over for grammar and tone perhaps - along with addressing any objections or requests from Jolla.”

    I think it would be great to hear Jolla’s feeling about this kind of community development and if there is some kind of objections or request from Jolla’s side. Or other things to note. Personally I think it is great way to help newcomers.

  • Approx. time needed: 10min

  • Substitute (optional): N/A, unfortunately can’t be present

Due to unforseen events regarding work, I will not be able to be there today.
Please feel free to postpone my questions if you like.

Apologies I do try to attend usually if I proposed a topic.
