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.

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.

I will definitely not be able to participate actively as I’ll be on the road. I apologize in advance, I realize that this is a bit rude.
Feel free to postpone the topics for another meeting.

  • Name/IRC nick: nephros
  • Topic: More generic features enabled in kernel configs
  • Some details about the topic: More generic kernel configs
    I’d like to raise awareness for this feature request, maybe for SFOS5 we could get a couple of the more desktop-y kernel functions enabled?
    My personal wish would be filesystems like NFS, CIFS and UDF, but there are some other requests in the linked topic.
    Where would a “formal” request with specific features have to be directed? mer-hybris/mer-kernel-check? Somewhere else?
  • Approx. time needed: 5 min
  • Substitute (optional): perhaps @attah
  • Name/IRC nick: nephros
  • Topic: Jolla C2 adaptation repos and source code
  • Some details about the topic:
    This is a bit of a Folllow-up question to an older one forum topic meeting log: The answer to the earlier question was: Opening up adaptation sources got J Tablet and JollaC (one) was “are tricky as there were some proprietary sources”.
    Will such components be made available for the C2 device?
    Also, as noted here, open source tarballs are not currently available e.g. at Index of /sources/. Will these be available? If so, when?
    Do users who want to have access to e.g. the GPLv2 kernel sources, indeed have to put that as a written request to Jolla, as noted in the Sailfish OS License Terms?

Is there a plan for generating the VoLTE settings files required for service where Sony has not done so?
The required information can probably be prised out of at least one of the carriers here, but it is believed that it has then to be put into some signed binary blob by someone authorised by Qualcomm e.g. Sony

Can Jolla confirm what is actually required to add VoLTE support for the Sony VoLTE capable phones? Is it only Sony? Is it any Qualcomm partner? Can Jolla do it?

Has Jolla a plan for how this can be achieved with or without Sony?

Is that a topic proposal? (edit addition: getting a bit late one if so)
