Current proposed topics:

Intro (5 min)

Name / IRC nick: Thomas A. / Armadillo
Topic: App settings integration for third party applications
Some details about the topic: Currently it is not possible for third 
party applications to integrate their settings into the official 
settings page of the settings system application if they are published 
via Harbour.

Additional Q by kimmoli: How about settings for iconless apps, like 
daemons (e.g. toholed) ?
Approx time needed: 10 minutes
Optional: tbr/SK_work

Name / IRC nick: Lucien Xu, Sfiet_Konstantin (or SK_work)
Topic: Close vs open parts, why is there closed middleware ?
Some details about the topic: As I agree that Jolla need to provide a 
closed experience, that is done between designers and engineers, I'm 
seeing that there are quite a lot of closed packages that are related to 
middleware. For example, there is a Sailfish.Accounts component while we 
already have libaccounts in Nemo side. I would like to discuss about why 
is there a separation, if it is needed (legal reason ? technical reason 
?), if there is a plan to open the middleware a bit more. There is also 
the topic of QML files. During the previous meeting, Stskeeps (or 
another sailor) said that for Sailish Silica, the QML code was opened 
because of the developer interaction with the code, can this rule 
applies to other middleware modules ? In this topic we can talk about a 
first set of closed middleware that are the sailfish-* QML QML modules.

Approx time needed: 15 minutes

Name / IRC nick: Kimmo Lindholm / kimmoli
Topic: Party time? Hoping to hear is there any plans from Jolla to 
support/organize such event, or will community go to random places to 
grab a beverage or two?
