  3. : Sailfish OS and QtQuick Controls 2.0 (25 min – asked by marmistrz ) (Jaymzz, 09:09:08)
    1. The Qt ecosystem is moving and what was not present in 2014 becomes the new standard. I mean: QtQuick Controls 2.0. These are getting more and more popular and mobile-optimized. Does Jolla intend to replace Sailfish Silica with custom-styled QtQuick Controls? Platforms using QQC2 get many benefits for free: (Jaymzz, 09:09:12)
    2. Vasil Filipov - community (vakkov_, 09:09:34)
    3. nh1402, failed to end last meeting (nh1402, 09:10:27)
    4. from jpetrell Sailfish OS -style has quite special UI design (gestures, pulleys, etc.) which is not easy to adapt to common API, Qt Quick Controls follows quite traditional toolbar, backbutton, tabs, etc. based UI design, but definitely could be done, there has been discussion that we should provide toolbar and tabs components to make porting from other mobile systems easier (Jaymzz, 09:20:08)

  4. Sailfish OS Open Source releases on sailfishos.org (10 min – asked by r0kk3rz ) (Jaymzz, 09:31:36)
    1. The last code drop on releases.sailfishos.org was for 2.1.0 and we are now at 2.1.4, so can we at least get a code drop for 2.1.4? (Jaymzz, 09:31:48)
    2. from veskuh : We are working on pushing the code drops for the missing releases. There has been some infra changes, so changes to scripts that generate these were needed. Should be arriving in next couple of weeks. (Jaymzz, 09:34:00)

  5. SailfishX in India, Open-sourcing UI components (10 min – asked by physkets ) (Jaymzz, 09:36:22)
    1. The recent post on the SailfishX road-map (https://blog.jolla.com/sailfish-x-whats-next/) indicates that India will soon be included as a place of sales. But this may be slightly meaningless, as the Sony Xperia X device is already out of stock in most places (online as well as offline). The XA, XA1 & R1 are now the Sony devices that are on sale. Given that, what exactly are the plans? Also, what is the status of open-sourcing (Jaymzz, 09:36:33)
    2. from veskuh: Unfortunately, I don’t have any news to share. Our position is still the same as before. There is still want to do more open sourcing, but haven’t been able to make more progress, and can’t share any concrete plans now. (Jaymzz, 09:41:57)
