* Update on the fingerprint reader situation on community ported devices
  (Asked by ApBBB – 5 min)  (Jaymzz, 09:06:57)
  * As we know the fingerprint interface remains a closed component of
    SFOS and unavailable to community ported devices. On a previous
    topic jolla mentioned they need to look into it and discuss it. So.
    Give us an update of the situation.  (Jaymzz, 09:07:05)
  * We have one possible solution, but it will need more testing
    internally. So stay tuned for this one!  (Jaymzz, 09:07:50)
  * David Greaves - Sailor and Mer guy  (lbt, 09:11:47)
  * piggz Community Porter  (piggz, 09:16:11)

* Sailfish 3 ignoring X-Nemo-Single-Instance=no set by the app (Asked by
  rinigus – 10 min)  (Jaymzz, 09:24:38)
  * For some reason, X-Nemo-Single-Instance=no is not respected by the
    current version of SFOS compositor. The bugfix is known and issues
    have been filed at TJC
    (https://together.jolla.com/question/193960/problem-with-excec-and-single-instance-in-desktop-files-on-sailfish-os-3/
    and
    https://together.jolla.com/question/221851/x-nemo-single-instanceno-is-not-respected/).
    Right now, it stands on the way of running multiple Flatpak a

    (Jaymzz, 09:27:23)
  * X-nemo-single-instance does indeed seem to broken at the moment and
    needs fixing, but doing so would be an opportunity to make sure it
    does what you need it to do here i.e. launch each flatpak
    application once. For that it would need to be able to include the
    first argument in the identifier. Whether that should be done with
    extra values in single-instance or with a new property needs to be
    decided.  (Jaymzz, 09:28:06)
  * Damien Caliste, community  (dcaliste, 09:29:48)

* AARCH64 plans (asked by rinigus - 10 min)  (Jaymzz, 09:48:44)
  * While we have 64bit kernels on Aarch64 devices, userspace is in
    32bit. Would be great to get an ability of running AARCH64
    applications, even without Qt stack. Usecase: Flatpak Aarch64 apps.

  * LINK: https://together.jolla.com/question/222109/aarch64-support/
    (Jaymzz, 09:49:05)
  * The upcoming toolchain updates will enable aarch64 building of all
    Sailfish packages, but we're not there yet. Stay tuned for more
    updates on this. You can bring it up again in another meeting after
    a while and check the status.  (Jaymzz, 09:49:34)

* update on API requirements for approval in store (5 min by ViGe)
  (Jaymzz, 09:58:57)
  * In January we promised to write a list of requirements that an API
    must fullfill in order to be accepted in harbour.  (ViGe, 09:59:30)
  * Today we have published the abovementioned list  (ViGe, 09:59:45)
  * LINK: https://sailfishos.org/wiki/API_Checklist   (ViGe, 09:59:55)

* general discussion (15 min)  (Jaymzz, 10:10:16)
