    4. nephros, community (nephros, 16:07:49)

  4. cable/charger requirements (10 mins -- ngt) (rainemak, 16:11:22)
    1. <ngt> Jolla mentioned in an earlier community meeting that there will (rainemak, 16:11:22)
    2. <ngt> likely be no charger and cable in the box (to reduce eWaste). For (rainemak, 16:11:22)
    3. <ngt> the few people that weren’t using a smartphone with USB-C before, (rainemak, 16:11:22)
    4. <ngt> are there any recommendations (or requirements) we should look for (rainemak, 16:11:22)
    5. <ngt> when buying a new charger and/or cable? And at which point would you (rainemak, 16:11:24)
    6. <ngt> recommend getting a new cable/charger? (rainemak, 16:11:25)
    7. <ngt> (rainemak, 16:11:27)
    8. <ngt> EDIT: Since posting the original question I started thinking about (rainemak, 16:11:29)
    9. <ngt> not buying a new cable/charger since I found a charging-only (rainemak, 16:11:31)
    10. <ngt> USB-C-to-A cable that I could reuse with one of my old chargers or (rainemak, 16:11:33)
    11. <ngt> my laptop. (rainemak, 16:11:35)
    12. <ngt> - Do we need a cable that supports data-transfers during setup (like (rainemak, 16:11:37)
    13. <ngt> on Android/iOS) or does it work wirelessly or is this (rainemak, 16:11:41)
    14. <ngt> unsupported/only supported with newer Android/iOS devices (in (rainemak, 16:11:43)
    15. <ngt> which case that might not matter)? (rainemak, 16:11:45)
    16. <ngt> - Did you test charging speeds using a USB(-A) port (If I recall (rainemak, 16:11:47)
    17. <ngt> correctly they are standardized)? (rainemak, 16:11:49)
    18. <Jolla> Power delivery (PD) 3.0 charges are good. We'll come back with recommendations later. Two follow up questios, you do not need cable for datas-transfers during the setup. We'll update on the charging speeds as well later along with charger recommendations. (rainemak, 16:11:51)
    19. ACTION: Jolla to update regarding recommended charging cables and chargers. (rainemak, 16:12:43)

  5. Bug bounty program for Jolla (15 mins -- roundedrectangle) (rainemak, 16:20:02)
    1. <roundedrectangle> Does Jolla have something like a bug bounty program? If (rainemak, 16:20:03)
    2. <roundedrectangle> someone would find and provide to Jolla a serious (rainemak, 16:20:03)
    3. <roundedrectangle> security flaw which would allow the attacker to access (rainemak, 16:20:03)
    4. <roundedrectangle> user’s private data, view confidential information (rainemak, 16:20:03)
    5. <roundedrectangle> related to copyrighted Jolla materials which should not (rainemak, 16:20:04)
    6. <roundedrectangle> be publicly available, and/or affect the usability of (rainemak, 16:20:05)
    7. <roundedrectangle> the Jolla services (take them down for a serious amount (rainemak, 16:20:07)
    8. <roundedrectangle> of time (crash), or limit their functionality), would (rainemak, 16:20:11)
    9. <roundedrectangle> they get rewarded for that? Where should one contact (rainemak, 16:20:13)
    10. <roundedrectangle> Jolla for reporting the vulnerability, regardless of (rainemak, 16:20:15)
    11. <roundedrectangle> the answer to previous question? (rainemak, 16:20:17)
    12. <Jolla> We do not have a bug bounty program. Interesting idea though. (rainemak, 16:20:19)
    13. <Jolla> You can report vulnerability by emailing to security@jolla.com. (rainemak, 16:20:21)
    14. CLMA31, community (CLMA31[m], 16:28:47)

  6. Including the package “usb-moded-connection-sharing-android-connman-config“ by default (5 mins -- Sanginteret) (rainemak, 16:30:07)
    1. <Sanginteret> I recently reinstalled my Sailfish OS phone and spent about (rainemak, 16:30:07)
    2. <Sanginteret> an hour trying to figure out why USB tethering was missing. (rainemak, 16:30:07)
    3. <Sanginteret> After several restarts and cable changes, I checked the wiki (rainemak, 16:30:07)
    4. <Sanginteret> and found that I needed to install a package. This feature (rainemak, 16:30:08)
    5. <Sanginteret> is present by default on other smartphones. Maybe it should (rainemak, 16:30:12)
    6. <Sanginteret> also be enabled by default on Sailfish OS. (rainemak, 16:30:14)
    7. <Jolla> Thank you for raising this one. (rainemak, 16:30:16)
    8. <Jolla> It's still hacky. So, like it is now it won't be added to images (rainemak, 16:30:18)
    9. <Jolla> by default. (rainemak, 16:30:20)

  7. Move to European code repository (5 mins -- Fuzzillogic) (rainemak, 16:36:22)
    1. <Fuzzillogic> Jolla presents Sailfish OS as “the only European mobile OS”, (rainemak, 16:36:22)
    2. <Fuzzillogic> which powers “the independent European Do It Together Linux (rainemak, 16:36:22)
    3. <Fuzzillogic> Phone”. (rainemak, 16:36:23)
    4. <Fuzzillogic> Yet, all the public development and developer information is (rainemak, 16:36:23)
    5. <Fuzzillogic> hosted on GitHub: Sailfish OS · GitHub. (rainemak, 16:36:24)
    6. <Fuzzillogic> (rainemak, 16:36:25)
    7. <Fuzzillogic> In the previous community meeting, there was a question (rainemak, 16:36:27)
    8. <Fuzzillogic> about a Community Task Board, and rainemak suggested to host (rainemak, 16:36:29)
    9. <Fuzzillogic> this on GitHub as well: #sailfishos-meeting log (rainemak, 16:36:31)
    10. <Fuzzillogic> (rainemak, 16:36:33)
    11. <Fuzzillogic> Claiming to be the European alternative, while continuing (rainemak, 16:36:35)
    12. <Fuzzillogic> (and even doubling down on) using non-European code (rainemak, 16:36:37)
    13. <Fuzzillogic> repository provider smells like “EU-washing”. (rainemak, 16:36:41)
    14. <Fuzzillogic> (rainemak, 16:36:43)
    15. <Fuzzillogic> Does Jolla have plans to move to a European-based code (rainemak, 16:36:45)
    16. <Fuzzillogic> reposity, or self-host it? (rainemak, 16:36:47)
    17. <Fuzzillogic> (rainemak, 16:36:49)
    18. <Fuzzillogic> P.s. Earlier I opened a post here with the question Move to (rainemak, 16:36:51)
    19. <Fuzzillogic> European code repository?. Unfortunately no response there (rainemak, 16:36:53)
    20. <Fuzzillogic> from Jolla. (rainemak, 16:36:55)
    21. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/move-to-european-code-repository/27242 (rainemak, 16:36:57)
    22. <Jolla> Currently we do not have plans to change our code repositories. (rainemak, 16:36:59)
    23. https://security.googleblog.com/2017/02/announcing-first-sha1-collision.html (Dante2, 16:42:45)

  8. About the post that Jolla shared on April 29th. (5 mins -- Polatbirdal) (rainemak, 16:45:07)
    1. <Polatbirdal> I wanted to ask about the article in this image — in which (rainemak, 16:45:07)
    2. <Polatbirdal> direction is this solution currently progressing? Will it be (rainemak, 16:45:07)
    3. <Polatbirdal> about entering other marketplace areas? Or will it be more (rainemak, 16:45:07)
    4. <Polatbirdal> like reaching out to more users and offering them the best (rainemak, 16:45:07)
    5. <Polatbirdal> alternatives? (rainemak, 16:45:08)
    6. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/29253/7 (rainemak, 16:45:12)
    7. <Jolla> Thank you for asking. We'll update when there is something to (rainemak, 16:45:14)
    8. <Jolla> update. (rainemak, 16:45:16)

  9. Special Edition Back Cover for batch 1-3 (15 mins -- ngt) (rainemak, 16:50:49)
    1. <ngt> What did you mean with “Back Cover”? There seem to be different (rainemak, 16:50:50)
    2. <ngt> definitions. Based on the name and the picture (a line drawing of (rainemak, 16:50:50)
    3. <ngt> a case or the Jolla Phone) that was used next to it on the (rainemak, 16:50:50)
    4. <ngt> preorder page, I previously assumed it meant a case covering the (rainemak, 16:50:50)
    5. <ngt> back (which is similar to how other companies use the term). Some (rainemak, 16:50:50)
    6. <ngt> things I’ve read since, however, sound more like an additional (rainemak, 16:50:52)
    7. <ngt> back side. This wouldn’t match with Jolla wanting to reduce (rainemak, 16:50:54)
    8. <ngt> e-waste, which was mentioned in a previous community meeting, and (rainemak, 16:50:56)
    9. <ngt> would be less “compatible” with the selected phone color (i. e. it (rainemak, 16:50:58)
    10. <ngt> would replace the selected color). (rainemak, 16:51:00)
    11. <Jolla> This looks like pretty much covered in the Forum already. (rainemak, 16:51:03)
    12. <Jolla> Back cover product product page starts like this: (rainemak, 16:51:04)
    13. <Jolla> "Remember those times that you were able to change your phone (rainemak, 16:51:06)
    14. <Jolla> appearance with a simple snap-on covers?" (rainemak, 16:51:08)
    15. https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-phone-back-cover (rainemak, 16:51:12)
    16. <Jolla> We call it back cover and yes it's ToH as well. When talking about (rainemak, 16:51:18)
    17. <Jolla> ToH, one would easily expect some functionality. Protective (rainemak, 16:51:18)
    18. <Jolla> covers / cases / sleeves are different. (rainemak, 16:51:20)
    19. <Jolla> (rainemak, 16:51:32)
    20. <Jolla> When it comes to "Special Edition Back Cover" for batches #1, #2 (rainemak, 16:51:32)
    21. <Jolla> and #3. It is a limited early supporters special edition back (rainemak, 16:51:32)
    22. <Jolla> cover. The design is undisclosed for time being. Something one (rainemak, 16:51:32)
    23. <Jolla> cannot buy and exclusive to pre-order batches #1, #2 and #3. (rainemak, 16:51:32)
    24. https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-phone-protective-cover (Dante2, 16:54:27)

  10. Open Pull Requests (PRs) to discussion (5 mins -- asked by Jolla) (rainemak, 17:01:47)
  11. General discussion (10 mins or so) (rainemak, 17:10:04)
  12. Next meeting time and date (2 mins) (rainemak, 17:21:25)
    1. Next meeting will be held on Thursday 21st May 2026 at 04:00pm UTC: 2026-05-21T1600Z (rainemak, 17:22:49)
