  3. Bluetooth tethering – status of the fix (20 minutes, asked by: c_la) (Jaymzz, 13:36:43)
    1. The 1.1.7 update broke bluetooth tethering. Some work was done by sailors but to my understanding no real fix has been made. (Jaymzz, 13:36:55)
    2. https://lists.sailfishos.org/pipermail/devel/2016-June/007151.html (Jaymzz, 13:39:59)
    3. This is not high Jolla’s priorities. We have connectivity issues and new hardware seem to always keep our limited connectivity guys busy. (veskuh, 13:41:09)
    4. The related components should all be open source so any contribution would be welcome though. (veskuh, 13:41:46)
    5. https://together.jolla.com/question/107787/11728-bluetooth-tethering-via-connman-no-longer-supported/ (sledges, 13:44:36)

  4. 2016 roadmap (15 minutes, asked by: c_la) (Jaymzz, 13:58:48)
    1. It's June, we're almost halfway through the year, but no roadmap has been published. Will there be a 2016 roadmap? What are the roadblocks to release it? (Jaymzz, 13:58:55)
    2. I give a little extra time to each topic since one of the topics were deleted from TJC before the meeting. (Jaymzz, 13:59:53)
    3. https://together.jolla.com/question/115416/request-for-roadmap-2016-and-a-huge-thanks-for-the-earlier/ (c_la, 14:02:47)
    4. Highlevel roadmap is something we maybe can do. The detailed roadmap is nowadays more problematic since we do a lot of work for client requirements (Jaymzz, 14:04:29)
    5. the reply I gave on TJC pointed to the now-revealed community device program. we have now released that and are busy "doing" what's related to it. I (Jaymzz) will try my best to push the updates for the roadmap as soon as we're a little less busy on the Community Device Program (Jaymzz, 14:05:47)

  5. Show notes of contact [Open source contact app?] (15 minutes, asked by: c_la) (Jaymzz, 14:06:53)
    1. the feature request to show and edit contact notes is one of the most voted on TJC, but still no efforts seems to be made. Is Jolla planning to fix it? If not, how can the community help it? opensource contacts app may be an alternative? Remember that contact notes are already saved in contact database, they simply are not displayed (Jaymzz, 14:07:00)
    2. https://lists.sailfishos.org/pipermail/devel/2016-June/007151.html (sledges, 14:09:09)
    3. https://together.jolla.com/question/7509/ (chem|st, 14:09:44)
    4. ^^ Chris’ email gives a good picture on what happened on this feature. (sledges, 14:11:26)
    5. At the moment we are not really adding many features to apps as we are mostly busy with other stuff (new HW, couple of key features, mw updates, ..) (veskuh, 14:12:26)
    6. if we get approval for open sourcing contacs app open sourcing shouldn’t be a problem (Jaymzz, 14:16:54)

  6. API access to calendar (15 minutes, asked by: c_la) (Jaymzz, 14:19:32)
    1. some time ago I asked the situations app developer about situations based on calendar events (meetings, for example). He replied that Jolla does not provide (on harbour approved app) the API to access the calendar. (Jaymzz, 14:19:41)

  7. Email App development (15 minutes, asked by: c_la) (Jaymzz, 14:25:40)
    1. the mail app has not improved much lately, my feeling is that development significantly slowed down once Vdvsx left. Given the many TJC topics on it (and some with a good vote count), is Jolla commited to work on it? how can the community help? Could you consider open source it, at least some parts (like for example the engine)? (Jaymzz, 14:25:57)
    2. < dcaliste> The source of QMF is free and one can add features if want to. I'm trying to add GPG signature support for instance. One can see it in gitlab (sledges, 14:32:05)
    3. https://git.merproject.org/u/dcaliste (sledges, 14:32:08)
    4. < dcaliste> Then, it will be up to Jolla to either open source the UI or implement the view themselves. (sledges, 14:32:26)

  8. General Discussion (10-15 minutes) (Jaymzz, 14:42:33)
    1. https://together.jolla.com/question/43843/invitation-sailfishos-open-source-collaboration-meetings-weekly-on-irc/ (Jaymzz, 14:46:17)

  9. Next meeting date and time (Jaymzz, 14:58:03)
    1. I propose 23rd of June (3 weeks from now), 13:30 UTC (Jaymzz, 14:58:25)
    2. I'll be in Finland on 16th (2 weeks from now) busy preparing the event for International Sailfish Community Event, hence the 3 week proposal. (Jaymzz, 14:58:35)
    3. Next meeting will be on 23rd June 2016 at 9:00 UTC (Jaymzz, 15:13:50)
