  3. Unavailable Harbour applications (10 mins -- nephros) (rainemak, 16:05:01)
    1. <nephros> The Jolla Store/Harbour suffers some scarcity of apps. (rainemak, 16:05:02)
    2. <nephros> (rainemak, 16:05:02)
    3. <nephros> One of the issues is older apps which are not available to (rainemak, 16:05:02)
    4. <nephros> newer releases because of compatability issues or not having (rainemak, 16:05:02)
    5. <nephros> an aarch64 build available. (rainemak, 16:05:02)
    6. <nephros> (rainemak, 16:05:04)
    7. <nephros> Could Jolla provide a digest of apps in Harbour which: (rainemak, 16:05:06)
    8. <nephros> (rainemak, 16:05:08)
    9. <nephros> * do not have an aarch64 version ( or more generally do not (rainemak, 16:05:10)
    10. <nephros> support all three official architectures) (rainemak, 16:05:12)
    11. <nephros> (rainemak, 16:05:14)
    12. <nephros> * have SFOS Version compatibility detected so they do NOT (rainemak, 16:05:16)
    13. <nephros> support SFOS 5+ (rainemak, 16:05:18)
    14. <nephros> (rainemak, 16:05:20)
    15. <nephros> * if possible, contact information or web link to the author (rainemak, 16:05:24)
    16. <nephros> (of course, GPDR-compliant, so no names or email addresses (rainemak, 16:05:26)
    17. <nephros> etc), but maybe have a source link, or appear like they (rainemak, 16:05:28)
    18. <nephros> would be open source. (rainemak, 16:05:30)
    19. <nephros> (rainemak, 16:05:32)
    20. <nephros> Note I’m not asking that this become a feature of Harbour, (rainemak, 16:05:34)
    21. <nephros> just a one-time (or maybe in the future yearly or so) report. (rainemak, 16:05:36)
    22. <nephros> (rainemak, 16:05:38)
    23. <nephros> If Jolla can or will not provide such a report, is there a way (rainemak, 16:05:40)
    24. <nephros> for someone to generate it themselves, e.g. by analyzing the (rainemak, 16:05:42)
    25. <nephros> repodata xml files from the store repos? (rainemak, 16:05:44)
    26. <nephros> (rainemak, 16:05:46)
    27. <nephros> The goal would be so active community devs could pick up (rainemak, 16:05:48)
    28. <nephros> development for some of those apps if feasible. (rainemak, 16:05:50)
    29. <nephros> (rainemak, 16:05:54)
    30. <nephros> Similar to the efforts that have happened in e.g. Apps that (rainemak, 16:05:56)
    31. <nephros> haven't been ported to aarch64 and Apps that haven't been (rainemak, 16:05:58)
    32. <nephros> ported to aarch64 (Store) (rainemak, 16:06:00)
    33. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/apps-that-havent-been-ported-to-aarch64/8497 (rainemak, 16:06:02)
    34. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/apps-that-havent-been-ported-to-aarch64-store/7331 (rainemak, 16:06:04)
    35. <Jolla> Let’s try to ease this problem somehow for us all. (rainemak, 16:06:06)
    36. <Jolla> (rainemak, 16:06:08)
    37. <Jolla> * A list of apps not having aarch64 version can be generated (rainemak, 16:06:10)
    38. <Jolla> (rainemak, 16:06:12)
    39. <Jolla> * Identifying latest compatible SFOS version is difficult in (rainemak, 16:06:14)
    40. <Jolla> some cases, as the rpm dependencies alone don’t always cover (rainemak, 16:06:16)
    41. <Jolla> this. But random-pick tests have shown that even apps not (rainemak, 16:06:18)
    42. <Jolla> updated in the past decade are often compatible (rainemak, 16:06:20)
    43. <Jolla> (rainemak, 16:06:24)
    44. <Jolla> * Providing contact information is not possible due to GDPR. (rainemak, 16:06:26)
    45. <Jolla> Some apps do have link to sources or web page is their public #info <Jolla> metadata (rainemak, 16:06:28)
    46. <Jolla> (rainemak, 16:06:31)
    47. <Jolla> Having a list of apps that do not have aarch64 support is (rainemak, 16:06:33)
    48. <Jolla> already a good starting point. (rainemak, 16:06:35)

  4. Process for taking over maintenance of apps in Harbour (5 mins -- asked by nephros) (rainemak, 16:19:27)
    1. <nephros> As a follow-up to the question above, what is the preferred (rainemak, 16:19:27)
    2. <nephros> way of taking over an app published in Harbour? (rainemak, 16:19:27)
    3. <nephros> (rainemak, 16:19:27)
    4. <nephros> What are prerequisites, and how does one contact Jolla to (rainemak, 16:19:28)
    5. <nephros> attempt it? (rainemak, 16:19:29)
    6. <Jolla> The original owner of the app needs to contact Jolla and request (rainemak, 16:19:34)
    7. <Jolla> ownership transfer. The request can be made in Harbour by (rainemak, 16:19:34)
    8. <Jolla> submitting app update with a message to QA. (rainemak, 16:19:35)

  5. What comes first out of beta: Xperia 10 IV & V or J2 (5 mins -- asked by Filip) (rainemak, 16:27:24)
    1. <Filip> Many of us bought those Sony phones in good faith on you. (rainemak, 16:27:25)
    2. <Filip> Unfortunately they are not “daily drivable” for many. Personally (rainemak, 16:27:25)
    3. <Filip> missing camera is a showstopper for me. Now I wonder if I should (rainemak, 16:27:25)
    4. <Filip> buy J2 since only a few hundreds (YAY) are available for preorder (rainemak, 16:27:25)
    5. <Filip> or wait for nonbeta Sony images. (rainemak, 16:27:26)
    6. <Jolla> Let’s have an open discussion on this one. There ain’t really a (rainemak, 16:27:35)
    7. <Jolla> question for us, this is more like a comment. (rainemak, 16:27:35)

  6. Clarification of technical specs of J2 (and maybe even confirmation what should we call it) to one place (5 mins -- asked by CLMA31) (rainemak, 16:49:29)
    1. <CLMA31> I think most of the phone specs are now official, SoC, (rainemak, 16:49:29)
    2. <CLMA31> supported bands, camera modules etc. Problem is that those are (rainemak, 16:49:29)
    3. <CLMA31> a little bit scattered and would be amazing if they were added (rainemak, 16:49:29)
    4. <CLMA31> to the product page of J2. When trying to give these (rainemak, 16:49:29)
    5. <CLMA31> information to people online, it can be quite tricky to find (rainemak, 16:49:31)
    6. <CLMA31> them even myself. (rainemak, 16:49:33)
    7. <Jolla> We’ll update the product page of Jolla Phone, more specifically (rainemak, 16:49:43)
    8. <Jolla> tech specs section. (rainemak, 16:49:43)
    9. https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-phone-preorder#techspecs. (rainemak, 16:49:44)
    10. SailMaa, community (SailMaa[m], 16:54:52)
    11. CLMA31, community (CLMA31[m], 16:55:24)

  7. “FAQ” topics in the “Getting Started” category (15 mins -- asked by CLMA31) (rainemak, 16:56:59)
    1. <CLMA31> There has been great community effort to create FAQ section for (rainemak, 16:56:59)
    2. <CLMA31> Getting started category. @attah raised the following comment: (rainemak, 16:56:59)
    3. <CLMA31> ”So how do we proceed? Would Jolla be ok to promote this to (rainemak, 16:56:59)
    4. <CLMA31> official status for the forum? Shameless ping @rainemak. (rainemak, 16:56:59)
    5. <CLMA31> (rainemak, 16:57:00)
    6. <CLMA31> The FAQ is looking quite nice at this point. Could do with a (rainemak, 16:57:02)
    7. <CLMA31> once-over for grammar and tone perhaps - along with addressing (rainemak, 16:57:04)
    8. <CLMA31> any objections or requests from Jolla.” (rainemak, 16:57:06)
    9. <CLMA31> (rainemak, 16:57:08)
    10. <CLMA31> I think it would be great to hear Jolla’s feeling about this (rainemak, 16:57:10)
    11. <CLMA31> kind of community development and if there is some kind of (rainemak, 16:57:12)
    12. <CLMA31> objections or request from Jolla’s side. Or other things to (rainemak, 16:57:14)
    13. <CLMA31> note. Personally I think it is great way to help newcomers. (rainemak, 16:57:16)
    14. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/faq-topics-in-the-getting-started-category/26055 (rainemak, 16:57:18)
    15. <Jolla> Indeed, the FAQ starts looking really nice. There are some (rainemak, 16:57:45)
    16. <Jolla> things that we should discuss in more in the topic. At the end (rainemak, 16:57:45)
    17. <Jolla> of the day, we should incorporate this an appropriate place. (rainemak, 16:57:45)
    18. <Jolla> (rainemak, 16:57:45)
    19. <Jolla> Keeping this as wikified topic is in any case a good target. (rainemak, 16:57:45)

  8. Open Pull Requests (PRs) to discussion (5 mins -- asked by Jolla) (rainemak, 17:10:28)
  9. General discussion (10 mins) (rainemak, 17:15:23)
    1. Meetup in Barcelona next week Wednesday (rainemak, 17:19:52)
    2. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/27957 (rainemak, 17:19:52)

  10. Next meeting time and date (2 mins) (rainemak, 17:26:20)
    1. Next meeting will be held on Thursday 12th March 2026 at 04:00pm UTC: 2026-03-12T1600Z (rainemak, 17:29:14)
