- Andrew Branson, sailor @ Jolla (abranson,
08:06:32)
- For years there have been hundreds of patches
fixing bugs and improving the experience. Why aren't they (or the
ideas) included into this opensource OS (that I know of)? 1: Are
there licensing problems? 2: Would you be willing to officially
embrace patches; which means, you would implement a few best or most
suitable patches or their ideas into the main release (with
agreement of the author)? They usually indicate what actual

- We don't have a process in general to take in
community patches. However, we can evaluate the situation case by
case. As long as the patches fix a real bug, we would definitely
consider integrating them. The author would have to be willing to
sign a CLA and potentially change the licence (e.g. we can't accept
them if they're GPLv3 right now), and we might ask them to make some
changes to better fit the OS. Bug fixes are separa (Jaymzz,

- Status update on assisting community with fingerprint support on community ports (5 min, asked by piggz) (Jaymzz, 08:13:30)
- In the past there has been positive words about
helping the community bring fingerprint support to their devices,
either with code or documentation. Is there any update on this
initiative? (Jaymzz,
08:13:41)
- This is a difficult topic as fingerprint
support is typically dependent on adaptation packages and those are
ususally closed source and community can't build packages and we
have no pipeline to build/provide such packages either. Manual
tinkering on individual devices is of course possible by community,
but we can't provide much help there. (Jaymzz,
