    1. <tuplasuhveli> User @tohaturok was able to utilise OpenWeather API for (rainemak, 07:05:19)
    2. <tuplasuhveli> the Weather app. Have there been any plans or work done (rainemak, 07:05:19)
    3. <tuplasuhveli> to include this (or any other API change) to the upcoming (rainemak, 07:05:19)
    4. <tuplasuhveli> Sailfish release? (rainemak, 07:05:19)
    5. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/change-weather-provider-to-yr-no-for-the-default-weather-app/18078/13 (rainemak, 07:05:25)
    6. <Jolla> We have been following closely tohaturok's work. It's great work! (rainemak, 07:05:33)
    7. <Jolla> Same time we're progressing with open sourcing of the weather app (rainemak, 07:05:33)
    8. <Jolla> but requires still actions from our side. (rainemak, 07:05:33)

  4. DBusInterface (Nemo.Dbus) docs and properties (5mins -- asked by rubdos) (rainemak, 07:15:01)
    1. <rubdos> DBusInterface is not very easy to work with in it’s current (rainemak, 07:15:22)
    2. <rubdos> state. According to the source code, it exposes some very useful (rainemak, 07:15:22)
    3. <rubdos> properties like a status field, but I haven’t been able to use it (rainemak, 07:15:22)
    4. <rubdos> yet. Any chance this gets documented? getProperty is also (rainemak, 07:15:22)
    5. <rubdos> undocumented, but is rather useful. Additionally, exposing DBus (rainemak, 07:15:22)
    6. <rubdos> properties as QML properties would be even more awesome! (rainemak, 07:15:24)
    7. <rubdos> (rainemak, 07:15:24)
    8. <rubdos> Currently, I’m using DBusInterface by updating some QML (rainemak, 07:15:26)
    9. <rubdos> properties when a signal comes in, and that sounds far from (rainemak, 07:15:28)
    10. <rubdos> ideal. (rainemak, 07:15:30)

    14. <Jolla> Note added regarding DBusInterface documentation. (rainemak, 07:15:56)
    15. <Jolla> When it comes to exposing D-Bus property as QML properties that is (rainemak, 07:15:56)
    16. <Jolla> quite a bit more complex that you may initially think. That would (rainemak, 07:15:56)
    17. <Jolla> likely require that developer using DBusInterface would need to (rainemak, 07:15:56)
    18. <Jolla> declare properties in QML and then through meta object (rainemak, 07:15:56)
    19. <Jolla> DBusInterface would update them given that those are declared in (rainemak, 07:15:58)
    20. <Jolla> the first place. (rainemak, 07:15:59)

  5. Open PR discussion (5 mins -- asked by Jolla) (rainemak, 07:20:37)
    1. <Jolla> Any open PRs to discuss? (rainemak, 07:20:42)
    2. https://github.com/sailfishos/rust/pull/23 (flypig, 07:24:52)

  6. General discussion (10 mins) (rainemak, 07:27:05)
