(cybette, 14:35:43) * Backups are always good. Simplest case we would look to "copy". Better would be an ongoing multi-site "mirror". Best would be something truly decentralized based on IPFS as a long-term aim. (cybette, 14:35:49) * since last meeting, Jolla has published a press release and blog post (cybette, 14:38:55) * LINK: https://cdn.jolla.com/wp-content/uploads/bsk-pdf-manager/Jolla_press_release_20112015_FINAL_62.pdf (cybette, 14:39:03) * LINK: https://blog.jolla.com/open-letter-jolla-community/ (cybette, 14:39:08) * LINK: http://merproject.org/donations.html (stephg, 14:41:13) * LINK: https://www.mail-archive.com/mer-general@lists.merproject.org/msg01485.html (vgrade, 14:41:39) * Jolla has reorganized its software organization with functioning SDK/UI/HW/testing/release teams, taking a look at infra usage, documenting software assets, etc. (cybette, 14:42:03) * Lights are still on in Jolla Oy even with a reduced crew, with help from community cbeta members in testing, community members lending a hand in the Helsinki move etc. (cybette, 14:45:38) * About what services Jolla can handover to community, it is a bit unclear right now. Perhaps online checkers, release mirroring etc. (cybette, 14:51:33) * Topic might be better for next week's meeting with more visibility (cybette, 14:51:55) * Status report from Jolla the company - SfietKonstantinW (30 min - 10 min for state, 20 for QA) (cybette, 14:52:21) * Since Jolla is having some troubles recently, and that the light has not yet been casted on all the details, I would like to have a report from sailors about the state of the company.
