Would it be possible to have a stable "frozen" Gplay services app on the Jolla Store to be downloaded like other Android apps ? There is already a great solution developped on OpenRepos (https://openrepos.net/content/coderus/opengapps-pico-installer#comment-16413) that would really help simplifying the Saiflish user experience for basic users while to my view granting all the necessary (Jaymzz, 09:06:33) * LINK: https://together.jolla.com/question/54157/sailfishos-open-source-collaboration-meeting-planning/?answer=152943#post-id-152943 (RodSeq, 09:12:15) * LINK: https://together.jolla.com/question/54157/sailfishos-open-source-collaboration-meeting-planning/?answer=152943#post-id-152943 (Jaymzz, 09:12:31) * Jolla does not distribute GPlay services, and this is not likely to change. (veskuh, 09:18:23) * Aptoide’s repo names and contents are not somehting we control. (Jaymzz, 09:20:38) * Promotion of polished Sailfish Ports on Sailfishos.org (15 min, asked by r0kk3rz ) (Jaymzz, 09:24:12) * I have recently been taking a look at the available device ports on the Mer Wiki and for the most part its fairly confusing with a mix of out dated and abandoned device ports and a bunch of well working and maintained ones (i have a list here).It would be great if we could come up with some criteria and put device images and descriptions on Sailfishos.org somewhere so they are more visible to people investigating Sailfish. (Jaymzz, 09:24:19) * LINK: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris (Jaymzz, 09:26:51) * LINK: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris_reboot (r0kk3rz, 09:27:09) * everyone agreed on cleaning up the wiki (Jaymzz, 09:40:08) * QtLocation and Qt 5.6 licensing in general (20 min, asked by otsaloma) (Jaymzz, 09:40:56) * There is vague information on the mailing list about Qt modules being kept at 5.2 due to LGPLv3 licensing reasons, despite a general update to 5.6. This raises a few questions. What is the problem with LGPLv3? Which Qt modules will be held back? Is Qt eventually moving all modules to LGPLv3 and what would that mean for Sailfish OS? If modules are frozen, are they effectively stable and fit to be allowed in store (e.g. QtLocation)? And why hold (Jaymzz, 09:41:03) * LINK: https://github.com/qt/qtlocation -> seems to list GLPV3 LGPLv3/2.1 (tortoisedoc, 09:44:49) * LINK: https://github.com/qt/qtlocation (Jaymzz, 09:47:45) * we are checking this at the moment. Aiming to have solution for it in the first quarter of 2017. (Jaymzz, 09:48:22) * Traditionally big companies did not like (l)gpl v3. This is why it has been avoided by us so far. we are analyzing if there is still any reason to avoid and change the policy if we can. (Jaymzz, 09:50:17) * General Discussion (15 minutes) (Jaymzz, 10:03:05) * LINK: https://github.com/dasimmet/Sailfish-Python (DylanVanAssche, 10:16:23) * Next meeting date (5 min) (Jaymzz, 10:20:54) * LINK: https://together.jolla.com/question/154586/fosdem-it-together-2017/?answer=154587#post-id-154587 (sledges, 10:24:33) Meeting ended at 10:29:52 UTC.
