   2. Pami Ketolainen, sailor @ Jolla (pketo, 08:09:26)
   3. marmistrz, community member, porting SFOS onto OnePlus3 (marmistrz, 08:10:25)
   4. there is going to be an ability to purchase Sailfish OS image for Sony Xperia X (src: https://blog.jolla.com/sony-xperia-project-update), so this will at least stirr the purchases department, hopefully benefitting for other type of paid solutions (like apps) (sledges, 08:16:24)
   
   
4. GCC update (10 mins, asked by marmistrz) (sledges, 08:19:13)
   1. Even Debian has a newer gcc than SFOS! Maybe it's time too update or even rebase upon latest stable $FAVORITE_RPM_DISTRO? Outdated libraries really hinder development, know that from Fremantle (sledges, 08:19:24)
   2. : the real question is, has there been any progress, in Jolla or the community (tbr, 08:22:50)
   3. : abranson says: > I started it last year, but got distracted with other things. there are a lot of patches on our gcc to migrate. (tbr, 08:25:18)
   4. community's help welcome, contact person: abranson , link: (sledges, 08:27:44)
   5. https://git.merproject.org/mer-core/gcc5 (sledges, 08:27:46)
   
   
5. do you need dual-sim F5122 Xperia X owners in cbeta group? (3 mins, asked by remote_) (sledges, 08:31:36)
   1. in order not to spread ourselves too thin, cbeta will first get on with f5121, when dust settles on that, we should be able to bake an f5122 image (sledges, 08:34:32)
   2. however things like producing test builds is bigger effort than it looks, we need to add a completely new device to our infra (even though the underlying source is the same), then run risk of further consumption of dev resources for dual sim support, so better polish f5121 first (sledges, 08:38:44)
   
   
6. General discussion (sledges, 08:40:25)
   1. Mister_Magister: Moto X Force (which i'm going to port sfos) was crowdfounded by facebook sailfishos community in 1/4 \o/ (sledges, 08:50:33)
