  * Otto Mäkelä, community  (ExTechOp, 16:02:17)

* Unavailable Harbour applications (10 mins -- nephros)  (rainemak,
  16:05:01)
  * <nephros> The Jolla Store/Harbour suffers some scarcity of apps.
    (rainemak, 16:05:02)
  * <nephros>  (rainemak, 16:05:02)
  * <nephros> One of the issues is older apps which are not available to
    (rainemak, 16:05:02)
  * <nephros> newer releases because of compatability issues or not
    having  (rainemak, 16:05:02)
  * <nephros> an aarch64 build available.  (rainemak, 16:05:02)
  * <nephros>  (rainemak, 16:05:04)
  * <nephros> Could Jolla provide a digest of apps in Harbour which:
    (rainemak, 16:05:06)
  * <nephros>  (rainemak, 16:05:08)
  * <nephros> * do not have an aarch64 version ( or more generally do
    not  (rainemak, 16:05:10)
  * <nephros>   support all three official architectures)  (rainemak,
    16:05:12)
  * <nephros>  (rainemak, 16:05:14)
  * <nephros> * have SFOS Version compatibility detected so they do NOT
    (rainemak, 16:05:16)
  * <nephros>   support SFOS 5+  (rainemak, 16:05:18)
  * <nephros>  (rainemak, 16:05:20)
  * <nephros> * if possible, contact information or web link to the
    author  (rainemak, 16:05:24)
  * <nephros>   (of course, GPDR-compliant, so no names or email
    addresses  (rainemak, 16:05:26)
  * <nephros>   etc), but maybe have a source link, or appear like they
    (rainemak, 16:05:28)
  * <nephros>   would be open source.  (rainemak, 16:05:30)
  * <nephros>  (rainemak, 16:05:32)
  * <nephros> Note I’m not asking that this become a feature of Harbour,
    (rainemak, 16:05:34)
  * <nephros> just a one-time (or maybe in the future yearly or so)
    report.  (rainemak, 16:05:36)
  * <nephros>  (rainemak, 16:05:38)
  * <nephros> If Jolla can or will not provide such a report, is there a
    way  (rainemak, 16:05:40)
  * <nephros> for someone to generate it themselves, e.g. by analyzing
    the  (rainemak, 16:05:42)
  * <nephros> repodata xml files from the store repos?  (rainemak,
    16:05:44)
  * <nephros>  (rainemak, 16:05:46)
  * <nephros> The goal would be so active community devs could pick up
    (rainemak, 16:05:48)
  * <nephros> development for some of those apps if feasible.
    (rainemak, 16:05:50)
  * <nephros>  (rainemak, 16:05:54)
  * <nephros> Similar to the efforts that have happened in e.g. Apps
    that  (rainemak, 16:05:56)
  * <nephros> haven't been ported to aarch64 and Apps that haven't been
    (rainemak, 16:05:58)
  * <nephros> ported to aarch64 (Store)  (rainemak, 16:06:00)

    https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/apps-that-havent-been-ported-to-aarch64-store/7331
    (rainemak, 16:06:04)
  * <Jolla> Let’s try to ease this problem somehow for us all.
    (rainemak, 16:06:06)
  * <Jolla>  (rainemak, 16:06:08)
  * <Jolla> * A list of apps not having aarch64 version can be generated
    (rainemak, 16:06:10)
  * <Jolla>  (rainemak, 16:06:12)
  * <Jolla> * Identifying latest compatible SFOS version is difficult in
    (rainemak, 16:06:14)
  * <Jolla>   some cases, as the rpm dependencies alone don’t always
    cover  (rainemak, 16:06:16)
  * <Jolla>   this. But random-pick tests have shown that even apps not
    (rainemak, 16:06:18)
  * <Jolla>   updated in the past decade are often compatible
    (rainemak, 16:06:20)
  * <Jolla>  (rainemak, 16:06:24)
  * <Jolla> * Providing contact information is not possible due to GDPR.
    (rainemak, 16:06:26)
  * <Jolla>   Some apps do have link to sources or web page is their
    public #info <Jolla>   metadata  (rainemak, 16:06:28)
  * <Jolla>  (rainemak, 16:06:31)
  * <Jolla> Having a list of apps that do not have aarch64 support is
    (rainemak, 16:06:33)
  * <Jolla> already a good starting point.  (rainemak, 16:06:35)

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

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

* 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)
  * <CLMA31> I think most of the phone specs are now official, SoC,
    (rainemak, 16:49:29)
  * <CLMA31> supported bands, camera modules etc. Problem is that those
    are  (rainemak, 16:49:29)
  * <CLMA31> a little bit scattered and would be amazing if they were
    added  (rainemak, 16:49:29)
  * <CLMA31> to the product page of J2. When trying to give these
    (rainemak, 16:49:29)
  * <CLMA31> information to people online, it can be quite tricky to
    find  (rainemak, 16:49:31)
  * <CLMA31> them even myself.  (rainemak, 16:49:33)
  * <Jolla> We’ll update the product page of Jolla Phone, more
    specifically  (rainemak, 16:49:43)
  * <Jolla> tech specs section.  (rainemak, 16:49:43)

    (rainemak, 16:49:44)
  * SailMaa, community  (SailMaa[m], 16:54:52)
  * CLMA31, community  (CLMA31[m], 16:55:24)

* “FAQ” topics in the “Getting Started” category (15 mins -- asked by
  CLMA31)  (rainemak, 16:56:59)
  * <CLMA31> There has been great community effort to create FAQ section
    for  (rainemak, 16:56:59)
  * <CLMA31> Getting started category. @attah raised the following
    comment:  (rainemak, 16:56:59)
  * <CLMA31> ”So how do we proceed? Would Jolla be ok to promote this to
    (rainemak, 16:56:59)
  * <CLMA31> official status for the forum? Shameless ping @rainemak.
    (rainemak, 16:56:59)
  * <CLMA31>  (rainemak, 16:57:00)
  * <CLMA31> The FAQ is looking quite nice at this point. Could do with
    a  (rainemak, 16:57:02)
  * <CLMA31> once-over for grammar and tone perhaps - along with
    addressing  (rainemak, 16:57:04)
  * <CLMA31> any objections or requests from Jolla.”  (rainemak,
    16:57:06)
  * <CLMA31>  (rainemak, 16:57:08)
  * <CLMA31> I think it would be great to hear Jolla’s feeling about
    this  (rainemak, 16:57:10)
  * <CLMA31> kind of community development and if there is some kind of
    (rainemak, 16:57:12)
  * <CLMA31> objections or request from Jolla’s side. Or other things to
    (rainemak, 16:57:14)
  * <CLMA31> note. Personally I think it is great way to help newcomers.

    (rainemak, 16:57:18)
  * <Jolla> Indeed, the FAQ starts looking really nice. There are some
    (rainemak, 16:57:45)
  * <Jolla> things that we should discuss in more in the topic. At the
    end  (rainemak, 16:57:45)
  * <Jolla> of the day, we should incorporate this an appropriate place.
    (rainemak, 16:57:45)
  * <Jolla>  (rainemak, 16:57:45)
  * <Jolla> Keeping this as wikified topic is in any case a good target.
    (rainemak, 16:57:45)

* Open Pull Requests (PRs) to discussion (5 mins -- asked by Jolla)
  (rainemak, 17:10:28)

* General discussion (10 mins)  (rainemak, 17:15:23)
  * Meetup in Barcelona next week Wednesday  (rainemak, 17:19:52)
  * LINK: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/27957   (rainemak, 17:19:52)

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

Meeting ended at 17:30:33 UTC.
