<description><![CDATA[<p>I am a virtual instrument developer, I make Kontakt libraries and VSTs. I edit sessions for hours on end in Reaper. My work hinges entirely on having flexible, low latency audio, and Pipewire on Fedora pretty much just works! Far better than messing with ASIO on Windows.</p>
<p>Best of luck ignoring the h8ers, for every one of them there are thousands of us who are happily using pipewire with 0 issues.</p>

<p>You're absolutely right, Carlos -- maintainer bandwidth is a whole other dimension to this. Plus I know we attract a fair share of people with Strong Opinions in GNOME.</p>
<p>And imo the problem of the unsustainable commons is also a <em>big</em> unsolved (and large unacknowledged!) problem of our times.</p>
<p>In both PulseAudio and PipeWire, we have had some contributors who seem to enjoy helping new users navigate issues and do triage. This has been invaluable in helping make the process easier to manage. I think there's room to formalise this role more widely, and explicitly acknowledge the labour. This may also be a good way to encourage more people to contribute.</p>
<p>Thank you, and I'm looking forward to getting started on the Board!</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Thanks Arun for writing about this, It was a great read. As a maintainer for input things in GNOME, Settings daemon and desktop search, I can very much relate about the inherent ungratefulness in maintaining software that is completely transparent to the user until something breaks, and the weird internet feedback loop that ends up giving a bad rap to things that actually work great for most.</p>
<p>Another issue not highlighted in your post is that many maintainers are juggling many things at once, and are hardly idling awaiting for bug reports to appear (and I'm told some of them have a life too). Yet the expectation is that we reply promptly to issues, fix things quickly, etc, the impatience often builds up quickly otherwise. If every bug is top priority, no bug is top priority.</p>
<p>I tend to think we are approaching some kind of operative limit given the popularity of the linux desktop nowadays, and hypothetically cranking up the stats (say 10x) I don't know if our model could scale. I'm well aware that a fresh and greater pool of maintainers doesn't precisely sprout, so I wonder if there could be room for less technical roles in the community to alleviate certain aspects from the increasing maintainer burden.</p>
<p>All that said, I'm for one a happy user of linux audio, and congrats on the preliminary results for the board election!</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I remember how getting sound to play on OSS took me a week of tinkering in 2001. Now we have Pipewire, and yesterday I happened to connect a USB device with 20 audio channels, and it Just Works, with no config needed, no issues whatsoever. I didn't even need to install a driver like I would have on the OS from Redmond. And it's backwards compatible for applications needing PulseAudio or JACK. Don't listen to the haters, it's easy to criticise. Thanks to Pipewire, we have very competitive audio stack!</p>
