2021-10-08 @ 16:00 UTC - Special Fedora QA Meeting: Wireplumber Decision

# Special Fedora Quality Assurance Meeting # Date: 2021-10-08 # Time: 16:00 UTC (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UTCHowto) # Location: #fedora-meeting on irc.libera.chat Greetings testers! Well, this is exciting. I've been doing this job for approximately eleventy billion years, but I think this is the first time I'm going to run a special meeting! Today FESCo considered[0] a proposal[1] to trigger the contingency plan on the Fedora 35 Wireplumber change[2], which would mean going back to pipewire's own simple session manager. The decision they reached was that they'd give the maintainers until Friday to make improvements to Wireplumber, and on Friday, we (QA) get to decide if we think it's good enough to be shipped for Final. If by Friday we think it's not going to be in good enough shape for release, we'll immediately revert to the simple session manager - the changes to do so will be prepared and ready to go if necessary. This meeting will be at 16:00 UTC, which is 9am timezone, to give me enough time to check in on the status of all the bugs before we get started. Anyone interested is welcome to attend, and I expect we'll make the decision by rough consensus without worrying too hard about bureaucracy or who's allowed to have an opinion. If it somehow turns out to be especially controversial I'll try and come up with a voting system on the fly, if it gets really bad we can bounce it back to FESCo. == Proposed Agenda Topics == 1. Should we revert to the simple session manager, or stick with Wireplumber? [0] https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/teams/fesco/fesco.2021-10-04-19.03....
