Meeting summary
---------------
* Meeting information and agenda can be found here:  (rainemak,
  16:01:49)
* LINK: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/27468   (rainemak, 16:01:50)
* Brief introduction (5 min). Please prefix your name/handle with #info
  (rainemak, 16:01:54)
  * Raine Mäkeläinen, Jolla  (rainemak, 16:02:02)
  * Ruben De Smet - rubdos - community  (rubdos[m], 16:02:20)
  * Matti Viljanen, Jolla  (direc85[m], 16:02:41)
  * mettska, User  (mettska, 16:04:50)
  * Andrew Branson, Jolla  (abranson, 16:05:06)

* Will the J2 have HBM (high brightness mode) (5 mins -- MeeGo-Junky)
  (rainemak, 16:07:11)
  * <MeeGo-Junky> In the region where I live HBM is really essential:
    (rainemak, 16:07:19)
  * <MeeGo-Junky> On the Xperia 10 V with current 5.0.0.72 beta there is
    no  (rainemak, 16:07:19)
  * <MeeGo-Junky> HBM (at least to my awareness) and this renders the
    (rainemak, 16:07:19)
  * <MeeGo-Junky> device useless outdoors, meaningful use only indoors
    (rainemak, 16:07:19)
  * <MeeGo-Junky> possible. The same device with stock Andoid (that has
    (rainemak, 16:07:20)
  * <MeeGo-Junky> HBM) is a pleasure to use.  (rainemak, 16:07:21)
  * <MeeGo-Junky> Also on my Volla Quintus HBM makes a striking
    difference:  (rainemak, 16:07:23)
  * <MeeGo-Junky> with HBM enabled, SFOS shines and the device is
    useable  (rainemak, 16:07:25)
  * <MeeGo-Junky> outdoors.  (rainemak, 16:07:27)
  * <MeeGo-Junky> Therefore: is there anything planned about the screen
    (rainemak, 16:07:29)
  * <MeeGo-Junky> brightness of J2?  (rainemak, 16:07:31)
  * <Jolla> We cannot yet confirm the HBM but taken into account. HBM
    (rainemak, 16:07:33)
  * <Jolla> should be ~800 nits. We are working on a more technical
    Forum  (rainemak, 16:07:35)
  * <Jolla> post. We'll try to cover various questions that have been
    asked  (rainemak, 16:07:37)
  * <Jolla> at the Forum and on other channels. Let's try to cover this
    one  (rainemak, 16:07:39)
  * <Jolla> in more detail as well. Every day matters when clarifying
    (rainemak, 16:07:41)
  * <Jolla> things.  (rainemak, 16:07:43)

* Unreliability of Android apps in secondary user accounts (10 mins --
  asked by headlamp_mapper)  (rainemak, 16:14:22)
  * <headlamp_mapper> Installing Android apps on secondary user accounts
    (rainemak, 16:14:28)
  * <headlamp_mapper> seems to work correctly at first (they can run in
    the  (rainemak, 16:14:28)
  * <headlamp_mapper> background and send notifications). When switching
    (rainemak, 16:14:28)
  * <headlamp_mapper> users to defaultuser and back to the secondary
    (rainemak, 16:14:28)
  * <headlamp_mapper> account, the apps disappear from the app drawer.
    The  (rainemak, 16:14:28)
  * <headlamp_mapper> apps still work (notifications work and apps can
    be  (rainemak, 16:14:30)
  * <headlamp_mapper> opened from push notifications). Is this a known
    bug  (rainemak, 16:14:31)
  * <headlamp_mapper> and can Jolla investigate?  (rainemak, 16:14:33)
  * <Jolla> First a bit of background. Work on the Sailfish OS multiuser
    (rainemak, 16:15:00)
  * <Jolla> support started around 2020 and back then requirements were
    such  (rainemak, 16:15:01)
  * <Jolla> that Android apps won't show up for additional users.
    Further,  (rainemak, 16:15:01)
  * <Jolla> some OS features will not be available for additional users.
    One  (rainemak, 16:15:01)
  * <Jolla> could think an additional user as a limited user.
    (rainemak, 16:15:01)
  * <Jolla>  (rainemak, 16:15:02)
  * <Jolla> Application data is stored per user but a Sailfish OS
    (rainemak, 16:15:03)
  * <Jolla> application is installed so that they are shared for all
    users  (rainemak, 16:15:05)
  * <Jolla> (as per harbour guidelines). Back in that time also Android
    apps  (rainemak, 16:15:07)
  * <Jolla> were shared between all the users. Thus, we needed to "hide"
    (rainemak, 16:15:09)
  * <Jolla> them from the additional users.  (rainemak, 16:15:11)
  * <Jolla>  (rainemak, 16:15:13)
  * <Jolla> Less than 2 years ago AppSupport instances were changed to
    be  (rainemak, 16:15:15)
  * <Jolla> user specific. After this change we could in theory allow
    (rainemak, 16:15:17)
  * <Jolla> installation of Android for additional users as well.
    Probably  (rainemak, 16:15:21)
  * <Jolla> this should be controlled by the device owner (defaultuser).
    (rainemak, 16:15:23)
  * <Jolla>  (rainemak, 16:15:25)
  * <Jolla> Long story short. It's currently a feature that requires
    more  (rainemak, 16:15:27)
  * <Jolla> work. When do we have time to improve it needs more
    planning.  (rainemak, 16:15:29)

* Open Pull Requests (PRs) to discussion (5 mins -- asked by Jolla)
  (rainemak, 16:24:59)

* General discussion (10 mins)  (rainemak, 16:31:22)
  * LINK: https://github.com/sailfishos/gecko-dev/tree/sailfishos-esr102
    is public, so in theory shouldn't be an issue to test it from
    community side  (rubdos[m], 16:35:00)

* Next meeting time and date (2 mins)  (rainemak, 16:51:39)
  * LINK: https://build.sailfishos.org/project/show/home:abranson:gtk
    (abranson, 16:51:44)
  * Next meeting will be held on Thursday 26th February 2026 at 04:00pm
    UTC: 2026-02-26T1600Z  (rainemak, 16:55:19)
