* new camera wrapper API - where to start? (20 mins -- affe_null)
  (rainemak, 16:05:15)
  * <affe_null> In the last meeting, @mal suggested that a new camera
    API  (rainemak, 16:05:24)
  * <affe_null> could be developed to replace the existing QtMultimedia
    one.  (rainemak, 16:05:24)
  * <affe_null> This could be very useful both for implementing an
    advanced  (rainemak, 16:05:24)
  * <affe_null> camera app and for supporting ports based on libcamera.
    (rainemak, 16:05:24)
  * <affe_null> I recently got libcamera working on the Jolla C2 with a
    (rainemak, 16:05:25)
  * <affe_null> close-to-mainline kernel and can help with testing this.
    (rainemak, 16:05:26)
  * <affe_null> I would also like to collect some ideas about the new
    API, e.g.  (rainemak, 16:05:28)
  * <affe_null> * should it still be based on gstreamer?  (rainemak,
    16:05:30)
  * <affe_null> * should it still use the old GstPhotography API?
    (rainemak, 16:05:32)
  * <affe_null> * should it be Sailfish-specific or can it be shared
    with  (rainemak, 16:05:34)
  * <affe_null>   other mobile Linux projects? should it be Qt-specific?
    (rainemak, 16:05:36)
  * <affe_null> * which features need to be supported that are missing
    in the  (rainemak, 16:05:38)
  * <Jolla> Let’s start from needs/requirements.  (rainemak, 16:05:42)
  * <Jolla> * Faster Camera startup -> What are current bottlenecks?
    (rainemak, 16:05:44)
  * <Jolla> * Something easier to maintain and extend  (rainemak,
    16:05:48)
  * <Jolla> * Upstream should be hosted @ github.com/sailfishos but end
    result  (rainemak, 16:05:50)
  * <Jolla> * Can be shared with other mobile Linux projects  (rainemak,
    16:05:57)
  * <Jolla> * Preferably Qt-less so C/C++, thin QML wrapper should be
    sufficient  (rainemak, 16:05:59)
  * <Jolla> * Support different low level camera things like gst-droid
    vs libcamera  (rainemak, 16:06:01)
  * <Jolla> * Consider PipeWire compatability (whatever that means from
    implementation point of view)  (rainemak, 16:06:03)
  * ACTION: Create Forum topic regarding camera feature wishlist
    (rainemak, 16:18:02)

* Open PR discussion (5 mins -- asked by Jolla)  (rainemak, 16:35:54)
