* : Sailfish OS and QtQuick Controls 2.0 (25 min – asked by marmistrz )
  (Jaymzz, 09:09:08)
  * 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)
  * Vasil Filipov - community  (vakkov_, 09:09:34)
  * nh1402, failed to end last meeting  (nh1402, 09:10:27)
  * 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)

  * physkets, user  (physkets, 09:26:46)

* Sailfish OS Open Source releases on sailfishos.org (10 min – asked by
  r0kk3rz )  (Jaymzz, 09:31:36)
  * 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)
  * 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)

* SailfishX in India, Open-sourcing UI components  (10 min – asked by
  physkets )  (Jaymzz, 09:36:22)
  * 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)
  * 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)

* Multitasking meeting (5min – asked by nh1402)  (Jaymzz, 09:45:35)
  * I have started bi-weekly multitasking meeting on this channel to try
    and get it off the ground. here is the tjc post for more details
