* Vulkan support in Sailfish (Asked by nh1402 - 10 min)  (sledges,
  08:07:54)
  * You now have 2 official devices that support Vulkan. The argument
    before was that there wasn't Vulkan support for the Android driver
    for the tablet, but it seems that has now changed.  (sledges,

  * schmittlauch, community member sorry for being late
    (M-schmittlauch, 08:09:30)
  * It is not on Jolla's roadmap, but creating TJC question is a good
    way to keep track of that!  (sledges, 08:15:02)

    well look into it  (sledges, 08:15:28)

    (vknecht, 08:19:53)
  * chriadam suspects that the Qt scenegraph would have to be updated to
    support a Vulkan rather than OpenGL backend.  Completely different
    draw calls etc  (sledges, 08:20:21)

    (sledges, 08:20:27)

* open sourcing of Sailfish OS components (Asked by c_la - 30 minutes)
  (sledges, 08:21:23)
  * during the last community meeting (September, 6th) it was discussed
    the idea of implementing multiscreen or PiP but it was turned down
    because key components of SFOS are not opensourced and thus the
    community can't do much.  (sledges, 08:21:44)
  * Many community members believe Jolla should urgently release a list
    of components that will be open sourced otherwise the community
    can't help Jolla improve sailfish.  (sledges, 08:21:49)

* General discussion (20 min)  (sledges, 08:51:19)
  * ACTION: dcaliste (from previous topic) To open TJC wiki this
    afternoon listing closed parts and which one community would love to
    see OSS and potential contributions  (sledges, 08:54:42)

* Next meeting date  (sledges, 09:16:02)
