(Jaymzz,
08:13:10)
- Cedric Heintz, community member (late
again...) (ced117,
08:15:03)
- those who would want to help with GCC can do so
by working with rinigus repository. More to be discussed in #mer
channel (Jaymzz,
08:19:39)
- (from rinigus) note that its not proper gcc
packaging. for proper upgrade, we would need to work on gcc as
packages currently with sfos (Jaymzz,
08:20:47)
- Picture in Picture (PiP) & Splitscreen Multitasking (asked by nh1402 – 15 min) (Jaymzz, 08:21:06)
- Splitscreen multitasking has been brought up
before (by myself), Apparently the main thing to modify to support
it would be Lipstick, PiP support would be nice, I'm not really sure
which would require less work. I was wondering what specifically
would need modifying (What in Lipstick), and how the community can
help bring it if Jolla don't have enough resources to. (Jaymzz,
08:21:17)
- (from jpetrell) unfortunately our homescreen
and Silica components are not open source yet so developing split
screen is not really possible by community (Jaymzz,
08:35:07)
- (more from jpetrell) for apps to change between
full-screen and split modes would require more dynamic layouting
(currently geometries are decided on app startup) (Jaymzz,
08:36:14)
- Silica needs to be reworked and we need system
UI managing split sceen and we need to migrate all the system
dialogs to support different state combinations (Jaymzz,
08:37:29)
- Meetings will be organised to discuss
implementation details. Work will then bein on Nemo
homescreen. (Jaymzz,
08:42:26)
- : Custom Gestures & Fastening UI. (Asked by Sugash – 10 min) (Jaymzz, 08:44:00)
- Currently we have limited user customizable
guestures.which causes a problem either between left and right hand
users . User definable guestures can add more customizability and it
can showcase Sailfish Os as the best Customizable Os. (Jaymzz,
08:44:15)
- Update libgcrypt to at least 1.6.0 (Asked by Mister_Magister – 5 min) (Jaymzz, 08:59:37)
- I need updated libgcrypt to at least 1.6.0 for
telegram-purple (Jaymzz,

(Jaymzz,

- QtWebkit Update to 5.212 version (Asked by Leszek – 20 min) (Jaymzz, 09:06:46)
- Make QtWebkit and Webcat great again by
updating the out of date version of qtwebkit 5.6 with the newest
5.212 version. This one offers accelerated canvas, fixed css, new
javascriptcore and webcore supporting more modern sites. I have
already created test builds and integrated the Jolla/Mer patches so
it can replace QtWebkit 5.6 directly:

(Jaymzz,

- A merge request and a bug report will be
created by leszek for qtwebkit 5.212 on git mer regarding this
discussion (Jaymzz,
09:35:06)
- Possibility to use the Sailfish X license to install the proprietary bits of SFOS (exchange, dalvik, text prediction, etc.) on ported devices (Asked by c_la – 20 minutes) (Jaymzz, 09:35:32)
- it would be interesting to have the opportunity
to purchase a license of Sailfish X to be able to install the
proprietary bits of SFOS (exchange, dalvik, text prediction, etc.)
on ported devices. This would increase the revenues for Jolla and
would expand the number of smartphones where to get a full
experience of SFOS thus expanding the potential user base. This
topic has been inspired by the following TJC question: Can
the (Jaymzz,

(Jaymzz,
09:35:51)
- (from pketo) Once we have the Sailfish X
program sorted out, we should have the enablers for providing the
licensed bits to community ports too, so I would say that we will
definetly consider this (Jaymzz,
09:41:32)
- General discussion (10 min) (Jaymzz, 09:47:16)
