3. Vulkan support in Sailfish (Asked by nh1402 - 10 min) (sledges, 08:07:54)
   1. You now have 2 official devices that support Vulkan. The argument before was that there wasn't Vulkan support for the Android driver for the tablet, but it seems that has now changed. (sledges, 08:08:29)
   2. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Android-ANV-Vulkan-Support (sledges, 08:08:34)
   3. schmittlauch, community member sorry for being late (M-schmittlauch, 08:09:30)
   4. It is not on Jolla's roadmap, but creating TJC question is a good way to keep track of that! (sledges, 08:15:02)
   5. Xperia X adaptation will be open sourced and then community can as well look into it (sledges, 08:15:28)
   6. http://blog.qt.io/blog/2017/06/06/vulkan-support-qt-5-10-part-1/ ... (vknecht, 08:19:53)
   7. chriadam suspects that the Qt scenegraph would have to be updated to support a Vulkan rather than OpenGL backend. Completely different draw calls etc (sledges, 08:20:21)
   8. http://blog.qt.io/blog/2017/06/06/vulkan-support-qt-5-10-part-1/ (sledges, 08:20:27)
   
   
4. open sourcing of Sailfish OS components (Asked by c_la - 30 minutes) (sledges, 08:21:23)
   1. during the last community meeting (September, 6th) it was discussed the idea of implementing multiscreen or PiP but it was turned down because key components of SFOS are not opensourced and thus the community can't do much. (sledges, 08:21:44)
   2. Many community members believe Jolla should urgently release a list of components that will be open sourced otherwise the community can't help Jolla improve sailfish. (sledges, 08:21:49)
