Description

Pipewire continues to move forward and mature and this hackfest is a follow-up to the one we had in Edinburgh last year. The goal is to review action items from Edinburgh and look at general state of PipeWire and where we are in terms of being able to replace Jack or PulseAudio in a linux distribution. We will co-locate this hackfest with the GStreamer hackfest as some attendees will want to be able to move back and forth.
