3. Opensourcing the sailfish-compositor poc (10 mins -- pasik) (rainemak, 16:05:01)
   1. <pasik> As discussed in the Nov 6th 2025 Community meeting there exists a (rainemak, 16:05:09)
   2. <pasik> poc of a separate sailfish-compositor (done as a hobby project by (rainemak, 16:05:09)
   3. <pasik> one of the sailors), which adds more modern wayland features (rainemak, 16:05:09)
   4. <pasik> /protocols (eg. xdg-shell support) to sailfishos. It would be really (rainemak, 16:05:09)
   5. <pasik> nice if this poc was opensourced to allow community participation in (rainemak, 16:05:10)
   6. <pasik> development and testing, as getting the sailfish compositor to (rainemak, 16:05:11)
   7. <pasik> support xdg-shell and other modern wayland protocols is really (rainemak, 16:05:13)
   8. <pasik> important to get more native apps and frameworks working properly in (rainemak, 16:05:15)
   9. <pasik> sailfishos. What are Jolla’s plans about this? (rainemak, 16:05:17)
   10. <Jolla> To clarify discussion from 6th Nov, Sailfish-compositor and the (rainemak, 16:05:20)
   11. <Jolla> mentioned Weston based compositor for Sailfish are two different (rainemak, 16:05:21)
   12. <Jolla> things. Conceptually this kind of hobby projects are projects of the (rainemak, 16:05:23)
   13. <Jolla> author. So, it’s not really Jolla’s plans on this matter. (rainemak, 16:05:25)
   14. <Jolla> (rainemak, 16:05:27)
   15. <Jolla> Having said that, yes it would be nice to have that Weston based (rainemak, 16:05:29)
   16. <Jolla> compositor proto / demo available as an open source. However, we (rainemak, 16:05:31)
   17. <Jolla> cannot proceed with that too quickly. (rainemak, 16:05:33)
   18. Damien Caliste, community (dcaliste, 16:11:02)

   1. <pasik> What’s the latest status on updating the sailfish-browser to gecko (rainemak, 16:15:24)
   2. <pasik> esr102 ? I believe earlier there was issues getting the new (rainemak, 16:15:24)
   3. <pasik> webrender code working on sailfishos. Is that still the main (rainemak, 16:15:24)
   4. <pasik> remaining issue? Is there something the community could/should help (rainemak, 16:15:24)
   5. <pasik> with? (rainemak, 16:15:24)
   6. <Jolla> Rendering is still the main issue in esr102 code at the moment. (rainemak, 16:15:32)
