Summary: its complicated, we could take some lessons from elementary and ship it all out to stripe.

We currently just have donate buttons

Various other options to look at: snap store

Elementary does not make any amount of money on their apps

First step: ubuntu-style 'pay as much as you want'

A slider is nice

Idea: reach out to gog and see if they would be introduced

We probably need to set up an example of how to set up your own repository

Alex is interested in more testing for flatpak itself and portals

We also need to test apps

A good first step would be to get a screenshot of each app after it is built

The freedesktop sdk already does something like that with a demo app

openqa is being recommended

Flathub uses a lot of refs in a single repo, which causes some scalability problems

First idea by Alex: Split summary file by architecture

We should fix open cves in the 1.6 freedesktop runtime, get kde and gnome runtimes rebased to 18.08, and then push for everybody to move to 18.08-based runtimes.

Open questions: do symlinks work ? do we expose too much ?

Alex says this is complicated - you could bind mount after the fact, but only if you keep privileges in the sandbox pid 1, which would be bad.

This is an often-requested feature. Research needed.

Alex wants a service that builders upload bundles to, which then imports the bundles into a repo.

The service could do a bunch of things, like sign, trigger qe, batch updates to summary files...

Add qt to freedesktop runtime: conclusion: just add the lts qt version

Use fs-verity in OSTree: it is really interesting, and Alex wants to do it.

We want a tools extension point for ides that need extra stuff

There is a request to have an extension point for gtk modules
