    1. Servo components are slowly being added to Firefox, WebRender, Quantum etc. on target to be added some point this year. I think we should jump straight to these components once they are stable enough, and bypass these old versions of embedlite/firefox. (Jaymzz_, 09:07:18)

  4. Matrix client need for a native client, asked by Pavi and PureTryOut (15 min) (Jaymzz_, 09:25:56)
    1. Matrix is an open protocol for decentralised communication on http. It allows users to see a backlog of messages, it also supports voice and video calls. It's designed to support group communication and additionally offers bridges to various other protocols/services like IRC, XMPP, slack etc. There is already one QML based client Tensor which in its 0.1 version has Sailfish Os implementation. Other clients which are Qt based (Jaymzz_, 09:26:07)

    3. https://together.jolla.com/question/127769/tensor-matrix-client/ (Jaymzz_, 09:27:57)
    4. https://github.com/davidar/tensor (Jaymzz_, 09:28:08)
    5. https://github.com/davidar/tensor/issues/4#issuecomment-222780172 (Jaymzz_, 09:29:16)
    6. http://github.com/fxrh/quaternion (Jaymzz_, 09:29:44)
    7. Matrix has lately been gaining a lot of traction, and it might be "the one solution/standard to rule them all". Sadly right now it's lacking any sort of native client for SFOS, and we're stuck with running the F-Droid version of Riot for Android (Jaymzz_, 09:30:00)

    9. Topic duration extended for another 5 minues to wrap up (Jaymzz_, 09:41:11)
    10. Conclusion: Community can freely work on a solution. Currently, Jolla is not capable/does not have enough resources to tackle the topic. (Jaymzz_, 09:47:55)

  5. General discussion (15 min) (Jaymzz_, 09:48:08)
    1. regarding opensourcing: We haven’t changed our plans on open sourcing. Doing it just is more complex than we thought. Essentially this: http://www.mindtrek.org/2016/world-needs-options-join-us-creating-one/ (Jaymzz_, 09:54:44)
