Yes, just to make sure we limit scope a bit of that particular session- 
it's very easy to diverge into discussions of SailfishOS UI and open 
source status of that and a lot of other potential topics within one 
meeting; so this is one way to make sure we stay within scope to solve 
one problem at a time and do it in a concentrated manner.

I think we should probably have a separate meeting for this as it's also 
a very valid topic to be discussed.

When would it fit you and others and what agenda items / participants 
would be useful? Initial thoughts include people from Harbour/Developer 
relations/Store/Release management and somebody from the SailfishOS 
'Helm' (direction makers) to represent ability to take actions.

I'd advise post the 15th April personally.
