Also given Jolla's claim to continue Maemo/MeeGo heritage carries such things implicitly. Maemo had extras, MeeGo had COBS and Harmattan had AppsForMeeGo. Up until when I wrote the invitation mail there was zero public statement from Jolla, the company, to people asking for such a repository. This has been brought up on Jolla's community interaction / co-creation platform: https://together.jolla.com/question/13605/visible-open-source-app-community-supported-by-jolla/ This was also discussed during the community round-table at FOSDEM, again no statement from Jolla the company had been made then. The offer stands for months now, we're in a holding pattern as people are not willing to commit countless hours of their private time towards something that Jolla maybe doesn't even want. This is essentially free work that would deliver significant value to Jolla's proposition. I urge Jolla, the company, to make a public commitment, during that meeting, to support the open source app community. David summarized the minimum viable way on the device on IRC: 1) Settings -> Untrusted SW -> tick Allow, tick Install Chum client. Done 2) Store -> Chum client and select install -> Untrusted SW -> tick Allow. Done There are other aspects which will need to be agreed, but Jolla needs to indicate that it is willing to consider this and what needs to be done by the community for the mentioned above integration to be allowed. > - closed bits of SailfishOS - why/where/how and relation to open source parts > - plans on SailfishOS for Android > > The meeting chair will be Carol 'Cybette' Chen, Jolla Community Chief. > > Please familiarize yourself with the topics. > Should you have agenda proposals or need for upfront discussion, please > reply to this email on the mailing list. > > Logging and meeting management will be done through a MeetBot (MerBot). > I'd recommend that everyone familiarizes themselves with the common commands > the MeetBot understands: > https://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot (Howto, commands for everyone) > > Previous meeting minutes and follow up discussion: > https://lists.sailfishos.org/pipermail/devel/2014-April/003925.html > > Cheers > > Thomas > a community member > > PS: We're _currently_ sticking with the 1500z slot and weekly on > Tuesday.
