  * <tuplasuhveli> the Weather app. Have there been any plans or work

  * <tuplasuhveli> to include this (or any other API change) to the
    upcoming  (rainemak, 07:05:19)

  * <Jolla> We have been following closely tohaturok's work. It's great
    work!  (rainemak, 07:05:33)
  * <Jolla> Same time we're progressing with open sourcing of the
    weather app  (rainemak, 07:05:33)
  * <Jolla> but requires still actions from our side.  (rainemak,

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

    (rainemak, 07:15:41)
  * <Jolla> Note added regarding DBusInterface documentation.
    (rainemak, 07:15:56)
  * <Jolla> When it comes to exposing D-Bus property as QML properties
    that is  (rainemak, 07:15:56)
  * <Jolla> quite a bit more complex that you may initially think. That
    would  (rainemak, 07:15:56)
  * <Jolla> likely require that developer using DBusInterface would need
    to  (rainemak, 07:15:56)
  * <Jolla> declare properties in QML and then through meta object
    (rainemak, 07:15:56)
  * <Jolla> DBusInterface would update them given that those are
    declared in  (rainemak, 07:15:58)
  * <Jolla> the first place.  (rainemak, 07:15:59)

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

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

* Next meeting time and date (5 mins)  (rainemak, 07:42:49)
  * Next meeting will be held on Thursday 8th August 2024 at 07:00am
