  3. Centralised translation server/service for Mer/Nemo/Sailfish/apps - silver_hook or M4rtinK (20 min) (cybette, 15:05:52)
    1. Currently pretty much every project and app handles translations by itself – spanning several servers/services and in some cases still managed manually. (cybette, 15:05:57)
    2. It would be a lot more effective if there was a central point for translations for all the Mer/Nemo/Sailfish and all their apps. (cybette, 15:06:04)
    3. Apart from lowering the entrance bar for new translators and having a better overview of projects and their translations, this would likely trigger a network effect that people who are translating project A, might also take on projects B and C, because they’re already there. (cybette, 15:06:10)
    4. Matti Lehtimäki, random porter (mal-, 15:12:10)
    5. Aleksi Suomalainen, community member & developer (locusf, 15:14:43)
    6. Daniel Kochmański, porter (jackdaniel, 15:16:13)
    7. Jolla is working on translation service (WIP, no ETA) that allows communtiy translation contributions. Should be feasible to use it for adding new projects (for 3rd party apps) to it. (cybette, 15:16:19)
    8. Tool of choice is Pootle, and ideas welcome for migrating Slovak translations from transifex to pootle (cybette, 15:19:54)

  4. Q/A and open discussion on Sailfish OS 2.0 design - SfietKonstantinW or chemist (30 min) (cybette, 15:25:33)
    1. Requesting small QA session with some people from the design team, to share about the new design that was shown at MWC for Sailfish 2.0. (cybette, 15:25:42)
    2. Goal is to have constructive criticism, and some explaination from design, no design by commitee. (cybette, 15:26:01)
    3. Lots of good questions and discussions about Sailfish OS 2.0 design, please read full logs for details (cybette, 15:54:30)

  5. Keyboard layouts missing from the phone - ApB (15 min) (cybette, 15:55:49)
    1. There are keyboard layouts missing and people have to use unofficial ones. Also jolla hasn't done anything to include those community layouts in the OS as a community contribution or at least in the store. (cybette, 15:56:11)
    2. Two problems with custom keyboard layouts: API stability (e.g. changed with split keyboard mode) and Security (cybette, 16:00:28)

  6. General discussions - everyone (10 min) (cybette, 16:11:45)
    1. QtPositioning will be supported in Harbour (iekku, 16:12:29)
    2. https://github.com/sailfish-sdk/sdk-harbour-rpmvalidator/pull/54 (iekku, 16:12:29)
    3. https://together.jolla.com/question/11446/support-for-qtpositioning-qtlocation-apis/?answer=87430#post-id-87430 (iekku, 16:12:29)
    4. voicemail notification fix is on its way (iekku, 16:12:33)
    5. https://together.jolla.com/question/8779/no-notification-when-new-voicemail/ (iekku, 16:12:35)
    6. no news about HERE status, TJC will be updated once there's info (iekku, 16:17:22)
    7. TJC now shows the rough status of the questions tracked by Jolla and allows filtering the search based on that status. Note that the question tracking is still in quite early state and not all questions, which might have internal items filed, have the linking in place. (pketolai, 16:18:47)

  7. Wrap up and next meeting (10 min) (cybette, 16:20:54)
