  3. Keyboard and predictive text (5 mins -- Kanthal) (rainemak, 16:05:06)
    1. <Kanthal> Hello! (rainemak, 16:05:06)
    2. <Kanthal> I am curious if there are any plans to modernize the whole (rainemak, 16:05:06)
    3. <Kanthal> keyboard experience, especially since there will be a lot of new (rainemak, 16:05:06)
    4. <Kanthal> users with J2. (rainemak, 16:05:06)
    5. <Kanthal> As an example I struggle to type on a keyboard that doesn’t have (rainemak, 16:05:07)
    6. <Kanthal> borders around the letters, suggestions, autocorrect (didn’t have (rainemak, 16:05:09)
    7. <Kanthal> that in my language even with XT9). (rainemak, 16:05:11)
    8. <Kanthal> Features like OTP codes being shown as a autofill suggestion when (rainemak, 16:05:13)
    9. <Kanthal> you receive them in sms/email are also very helpful and pretty (rainemak, 16:05:15)
    10. <Kanthal> much standard on other platforms. (rainemak, 16:05:17)
    11. <Kanthal> (rainemak, 16:05:19)
    12. <Kanthal> So I would like to know if reworking the keyboard is on the (rainemak, 16:05:21)
    13. <Kanthal> horizon. (rainemak, 16:05:23)
    14. <Kanthal> Thanks in advance! (rainemak, 16:05:27)
    15. <Jolla> Thank you for your question. Prediction is something that we're (rainemak, 16:05:29)
    16. <Jolla> thinking about. Earlier we mentioned presage as an option. We (rainemak, 16:05:31)
    17. <Jolla> should investigate if we could do something with hunspell. Let's (rainemak, 16:05:33)
    18. <Jolla> see what can we make for Sailfish OS 5.2. (rainemak, 16:05:35)

  4. Community Tasks Board (10 mins -- nephros) (rainemak, 16:11:51)
    1. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/community-meeting-on-23rd-april-2026/29030/3 (rainemak, 16:11:51)
    2. <Jolla> What an excellent topic. We have been steering this all towards (rainemak, 16:13:01)
    3. <Jolla> GitHub Sailfish OS issues. Same time we are opening issues from the (rainemak, 16:13:01)
    4. <Jolla> internal issue tracker to public -- let us do it in our own phase. (rainemak, 16:13:01)
    5. <Jolla> It'll take time. Espacially regarding components that are already (rainemak, 16:13:01)
    6. <Jolla> open sourced. (rainemak, 16:13:01)
    7. <Jolla> (rainemak, 16:13:03)
    8. <Jolla> We're open to new plugins for GitHub, let's avoid intoducting (rainemak, 16:13:04)
    9. <Jolla> something completely new. (rainemak, 16:13:06)
    10. ACTION: We need to improve / figure community task board (rainemak, 16:21:01)

  5. Tracking of non-resolved Community Meeting topics (10 mins -- nephros) (rainemak, 16:22:05)
    1. <nephros> While these meetings offer a nice and welcome opportunity for the (rainemak, 16:22:05)
    2. <nephros> Community to discuss topics, the results of the meetings tend to (rainemak, 16:22:05)
    3. <nephros> be very non-committal/consequential. Words like “later”, “we will (rainemak, 16:22:05)
    4. <nephros> come back to this” etc. (rainemak, 16:22:05)
    5. <nephros> This is fine - however, often things that should have received an (rainemak, 16:22:07)
    6. <nephros> answer “later” are lost in time/memory/the meeting logs. (rainemak, 16:22:08)
    7. <nephros> As the Meeting bot has the capability of creating "action items’, (rainemak, 16:22:10)
    8. <nephros> I propose using that to record things that should be revisited (rainemak, 16:22:12)
    9. <nephros> “later”. (rainemak, 16:22:14)
    10. <nephros> (rainemak, 16:22:16)
    11. <nephros> At the start of each subsequent meeting, if there were updates to (rainemak, 16:22:18)
    12. <nephros> a previous Action Item, this should be presented briefly. (rainemak, 16:22:20)
    13. <nephros> (rainemak, 16:22:22)
    14. <nephros> Action Items should only be added if they have some resemblance (rainemak, 16:22:26)
    15. <nephros> of importance. Not every unresolved topic needs to be an action (rainemak, 16:22:28)
    16. <nephros> item. (rainemak, 16:22:30)
    17. <nephros> Whether something is an Action Item or not is decided by the (rainemak, 16:22:32)
    18. <nephros> Meeting Chair Person only. (rainemak, 16:22:34)
    19. <Jolla> This we should tackle the soonest. Proposal would be that Meeting (rainemak, 16:22:41)
    20. <Jolla> Chair Person keeps track on the action items. We could repeat open (rainemak, 16:22:41)
    21. <Jolla> actions as a first item after intro. That's in itself is an (rainemak, 16:22:42)
    22. <Jolla> action point for rainemak. Like requested, let's focus on the how (rainemak, 16:22:44)
    23. <Jolla> part. (rainemak, 16:22:46)
    24. <Jolla> Meeting Chair should flag actions as suggested. (rainemak, 16:23:21)
    25. ACTION: Actions to be followed up meeting by meeting (rainemak, 16:24:31)
    26. ACTION: Jolla to adjust meeting template (rainemak, 16:33:07)

  6. user-replaceable battery on the Jolla J2 site (5 mins -- PolatBirdal) (rainemak, 16:33:55)
    1. <PolatBirdal> Hello, there is a statement on your site saying “user- (rainemak, 16:33:55)
    2. <PolatBirdal> replaceable battery,” but recently when we examined the (rainemak, 16:33:55)
    3. <PolatBirdal> phones with friends in the group, the phone’s battery was (rainemak, 16:33:55)
    4. <PolatBirdal> under a protective plate, and the protective plate was (rainemak, 16:33:55)
    5. <PolatBirdal> screwed to the case. Logically, how can it be replaced by the (rainemak, 16:33:56)
    6. <PolatBirdal> user? (rainemak, 16:33:58)
    7. <Jolla> Yes, you need to open the screws to replace battery. The battery #info <Jolla> won't be glued so no need for heater. (rainemak, 16:34:00)

  7. details of the return conditions regarding the product (5 mins -- PolatBirdal) (rainemak, 16:40:06)
    1. <PolatBirdal> Hello, I asked before as well, yes, but I forgot to ask for (rainemak, 16:40:06)
    2. <PolatBirdal> the details, so you answered according to the situation I (rainemak, 16:40:06)
    3. <PolatBirdal> asked about. I could not fully explain the situation in the (rainemak, 16:40:06)
    4. <PolatBirdal> community chat. The exact issue is this: of course, we also (rainemak, 16:40:06)
    5. <PolatBirdal> know this device is a European device, meaning it is expected (rainemak, 16:40:07)
    6. <PolatBirdal> to be marketed within Europe, but as people who like Jolla, (rainemak, 16:40:08)
    7. <PolatBirdal> we accepted this difficulty and prepared shipping companies (rainemak, 16:40:10)
    8. <PolatBirdal> like forward2me. In this sense, what kinds of problems that (rainemak, 16:40:12)
    9. <PolatBirdal> may arise from handing it over to a shipping company are we (rainemak, 16:40:14)
    10. <PolatBirdal> responsible for? If a problem comes up during the shipping (rainemak, 16:40:16)
    11. <PolatBirdal> process and the shipping company has the product but is not (rainemak, 16:40:18)
    12. <PolatBirdal> sending it, are we free to use our return option at that (rainemak, 16:40:20)
    13. <PolatBirdal> moment, or since we have already given this product to the (rainemak, 16:40:22)
    14. <PolatBirdal> shipping company, do we no longer have any return right at (rainemak, 16:40:26)
    15. <PolatBirdal> all under any circumstances? (rainemak, 16:40:28)
    16. <Jolla> This should be covered in forum already. Anything missing? (rainemak, 16:40:30)
    17. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/community-meeting-on-23rd-april-2026/29030/9 (rainemak, 16:40:32)

  8. Some love for Harbour (5 mins -- ilpianista) (rainemak, 16:44:14)
    1. <ilpianista> I read several topics about what API are missing in Harbour so (rainemak, 16:44:14)
    2. <ilpianista> that we get more apps into it, however none is talking about (rainemak, 16:44:15)
    3. <ilpianista> the Harbour “dev experience”. I’m sorry, but from my point of (rainemak, 16:44:15)
    4. <ilpianista> view: it s*cks. We are waiting for a wave of new users, but (rainemak, 16:44:15)
    5. <ilpianista> there could be developers among them as well. I would like to (rainemak, 16:44:16)
    6. <ilpianista> see these things implemented in harbour ASAP: 1) notifications (rainemak, 16:44:18)
    7. <ilpianista> for approved/rejected apps, 2) notifications for comments and (rainemak, 16:44:20)
    8. <ilpianista> 3) two factor authentication, as I’m concerned about supply (rainemak, 16:44:22)
    9. <ilpianista> chain attacks which are quite popular and successful. (rainemak, 16:44:26)
    10. <Jolla> Good points. Let's have open discussion on the topic. (rainemak, 16:44:28)

  9. Batterys for Jolla C2 and more (5 mins -- asked by fingus) (rainemak, 16:55:24)
    1. <fingus> The first shipped Jolla C2 units (including mine) are now about (rainemak, 16:55:24)
    2. <fingus> 1,5 years old, and I think this is a good time to start (rainemak, 16:55:24)
    3. <fingus> considering the supply of spare batteries for them. The (rainemak, 16:55:25)
    4. <fingus> possibility of getting Reeder S19 Max Pro S batteries in Europe (rainemak, 16:55:26)
    5. <fingus> looks bad, so this seems to be an important issue to resolve. I (rainemak, 16:55:28)
    6. <fingus> also contacted our spare-parts distributor (https://www.aswo.de, (rainemak, 16:55:30)
    7. <fingus> they are reliable, fast, have been on the market for a long time (rainemak, 16:55:32)
    8. <fingus> and have a good reputation.), from whom we purchase a large number (rainemak, 16:55:34)
    9. <fingus> of spare parts for the notebooks, tablets, and smartphones we sell (rainemak, 16:55:36)
    10. <fingus> at the company where I work. We have been working with them for (rainemak, 16:55:38)
    11. <fingus> the last 24 years and they provide a good service. I explained the (rainemak, 16:55:40)
    12. <fingus> situation with the new Jolla phones and gave them (german parent (rainemak, 16:55:42)
    13. <fingus> company) your contact information, so you (or reeder) might be (rainemak, 16:55:44)
    14. <fingus> able to form a joint venture for spare parts. The goals of this (rainemak, 16:55:46)
    15. <fingus> idea are availability, lower-cost and faster shipping and leave (rainemak, 16:55:48)
    16. <fingus> out this kind of work for your employees. I also offered to stay (rainemak, 16:55:50)
    17. <fingus> in contact with them about this matter to provide further (rainemak, 16:55:52)
    18. <fingus> information as a German native speaker with a technical background (rainemak, 16:55:56)
    19. <fingus> and as a community spokesperson. (rainemak, 16:55:58)
    20. <fingus> (rainemak, 16:56:00)
    21. <fingus> I’ll try to attend, but no promises (when stuck in traffic jam), (rainemak, 16:56:02)
    22. <fingus> maybe shift this topic to latest slot. (rainemak, 16:56:04)
    23. <Jolla> Currently we are lacking spare batteries for Jolla C2. We do have (rainemak, 16:56:06)
    24. <Jolla> replacement units though. Further, swapping battery on Jolla C2 is (rainemak, 16:56:08)
    25. <Jolla> not straight-forward as you need in practice heat the back plate to (rainemak, 16:56:10)
    26. <Jolla> get it properly detached (without breaking it). It's not (rainemak, 16:56:12)
    27. <Jolla> recommended to try to swap Jolla C2 battery yourself. (rainemak, 16:56:14)

  10. Open Pull Requests (PRs) to discussion (5 mins -- asked by Jolla) (rainemak, 17:05:20)
  11. General discussion (10 mins) (rainemak, 17:14:45)
  12. Next meeting time and date (2 mins) (rainemak, 17:26:45)
    1. Next meeting will be held on Thursday 7th May 2026 at 04:00pm UTC: 2026-05-07T1600Z (rainemak, 17:28:55)
