  3. Why Jolla shows Android apps for their promotion? (5 min, asked by: luca247 ) (Jaymzz, 13:35:50)
    1. why everytime there is an event or a presentation jolla or other sailfish brands like intex are only showing android apps like whatsapp and not native ones like sailorgram or music library? (Jaymzz, 13:35:57)

  4. Permission to daemon and other forbidden components to the store (5 min, asked by: luca247 ) (Jaymzz, 13:42:27)
    1. Having some great apps on openrepos that aren’t allowed on the store doesn’t make a lot of sense. Understanding that Jolla needs to have a secure store, but when are we going to have more and better apps on the store? When will the rules change/improve? (Jaymzz, 13:42:34)
    2. We have a very limited amount of people working on store QA at the moment (veskuh, 13:45:41)
    3. Jolla is doing some roadmapping this month and should evaluate again what improvements to Harbour QA and rules would be most useful and would not burden the QA too much (sledges, 13:49:10)
    4. time changed to 10 min instead (Jaymzz, 13:49:41)

    2. given the previous topic's experience we'll give this 10 min as well. (Jaymzz, 13:52:58)
    3. Yes, we want to upgrade Qt. Our previous upgrade took a lot of time and effort so this time we have be careful. (veskuh, 13:54:26)
    4. community could bring qt 5.6 to mer/nemo/glacier , via :next repos/branches ? (sledges, 13:58:44)

  6. Built-in icon pack support (5-10 minutes, asked by fravaccaro ) (Jaymzz, 14:03:41)
    1. Built-in icon pack support some details about the topic: Folder trees, conf files and dconf keys are already in place for a native, built-in icon packs support for Sailfish OS. Albeit non essential in the current situation, I would like to know if there's any plan to add the missing bits in the QML files. (Jaymzz, 14:03:47)
    2. We'll give this one 10 minutes as well (Jaymzz, 14:04:03)
    3. With the new customer projects we are having, a bit more configuration options such as theming has been requested. Icon pack support might be one of the things we want to support. (veskuh, 14:08:24)
