  3. Future of SailfishOS ports - new devices (10 minutes, asked by marmistrz ) (Jaymzz, 09:06:21)
    1. Most new devices have an aarch64 CPU and run CM13, which Sailfish doesn't support. Can we expect a aarch64 Sailfish and CM13 compatibility, if yes: when? (Jaymzz, 09:06:33)
    2. lbt can't make the meeting but wants to mentions that mer:core's aarch64 port is looking much better and we're on track for an up-to-date core for armv7hl/i586/aarch64/x86_64 (r0kk3rz, 09:07:21)
    3. https://twitter.com/JollaHQ/status/791586085826625536 (Jaymzz, 09:08:10)
    4. https://build.merproject.org/project/monitor/nemo:devel:ux (locusf, 09:13:39)
    5. https://build.merproject.org/project/monitor/nemo:devel:ux (Jaymzz, 09:14:00)
    6. pure aarch64 needed, that's whu ghosal works with glacier ui/nemomobile as it already has aarch64 support, jolla's sfos is catching up behind the scenes:) (Jaymzz, 09:17:30)
    7. PoC can already be shown really soon, and aosp6 lh upstream is just a polish away (Jaymzz, 09:17:45)
    8. but arm+aarch64 hybrid worked on opo2 cm12 (sledges, 09:18:07)

  4. Sailfish OS for Fairphone 2: Help willing developers to contribute (Jaymzz, 09:18:09)
    1. The Fairphone 2 has been out for a while and my perception is that it is among the most wished devices for full SFOS support (there where even rumours about official support). Given the interest, I'm pretty sure that there is more than one eager developer with the skills and will to contribute with testing and bug fixes, but all development so far appears to have been done by one person (mal-, as known on the Mer wiki). I have (Jaymzz, 09:18:21)
    2. This topic is asked by luen and neds 15 minutes :) (Jaymzz, 09:19:06)
    3. https://sailfishos.org/hadk (Jaymzz, 09:21:58)
    4. it also takes two (jolla+fairphone); we're working on agreement, but for now this remains community port, no ETAs as usual:) (Jaymzz, 09:25:26)
    5. FP2 port is using the custom AOSP sources from Fairphone so it's not exactly the same, I needed to manually patch those (Jaymzz, 09:30:14)
    6. most of the remaining issues are either kernel related or middleware, the adaptation layer is quite good otherwise (Jaymzz, 09:31:47)
    7. www.merproject.org/logs/#sailfishos-porters/ (Jaymzz, 09:32:52)
    8. mal- to make a new release for FP2 soon (Jaymzz, 09:35:08)

  5. General Discussion (15 minutes) (Jaymzz, 09:36:34)
    1. https://openrepos.net/content/martonmiklos/nederlands-community-translation-jolla (Jaymzz, 09:44:32)
