* PulseAudio update (5 min -- asked by remote)  (flypig, 07:07:35)
  * <remote> I'd like to inquire into PulseAudio version bump.  (flypig,
    07:07:42)
  * <remote> Version 15 brings high quality codecs support for BT
    headphones.  (flypig, 07:07:47)
  * <remote> Is it planned?  (flypig, 07:07:51)
  * <Jolla> For general information, the PulseAudio repo can be found
    here:  (flypig, 07:08:12)
  * LINK: https://github.com/sailfishos/pulseaudio/   (flypig, 07:08:18)
  * <Jolla> As can be seen there, we're currently on version 14.2,
    updated with the following commit.  (flypig, 07:08:24)
  * LINK:
    https://github.com/sailfishos/pulseaudio/commit/e0a3accd8840ecc728c32c1607c2950be5329eb8
    (flypig, 07:08:31)
  * <Jolla> Although it's no guarantee of future timescales,
    historically we've updated to even versions, with a roughly 18 month
    cadence between updates.  (flypig, 07:08:36)
  * <Jolla> Theres no update planned per se now. It's highly likely that
    this will happen at some point.  (flypig, 07:08:44)
  * <Jolla> Unfortunately our Audio expert is on summer holiday, thus we
    could not get his opinion for the PulseAudio update.  (flypig,
    07:08:51)
  * <Jolla> We therefore propose that we come back to this topic during
    the next meeting in two weeks' time.  (flypig, 07:08:57)
  * <rainemak>: We did discuss switching to pipewire last year but
    that's much bigger effort  (flypig, 07:11:31)
  * Both PulseAudio 15 and Pipewire would help with Bluetooth audio
    codec support.  (flypig, 07:13:39)
  * https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/pipewire-replacing-pulseaudio/6196
    (flypig, 07:24:23)

* RGB channel swapping in Canvas, Label, etc. (10 -- asked by poetaster)
  (flypig, 07:24:28)
  * <poetaster> drawImage of Canvas renders images channel swapped.
    (flypig, 07:24:40)
  * <poetaster> To expand see the Stopmotion code which applies the same
    fixes I applied to "Paint".  (flypig, 07:24:48)
  * <poetaster> Beside the RBG<->GBR swapping it also fixes the issue
    that image meta data (orientation for Portrait photos) is not being
    used when loading a url directly to Canvas.  (flypig, 07:25:00)

    (flypig, 07:25:34)
  * <Jolla> Thank you poetaster for raising this, and also to gabrielg,
    Edz, attah and others in the forum for all your excellent detective
    work. This made understanding the problem a lot easier.  (flypig,
    07:26:03)
  * <Jolla> We explored this a bit more internally and think we've got a
    solution. The qtscenegraph-adaptation package is used to store large
    images in hardware textures to speed up rendering.  (flypig,
    07:26:11)
  * <Jolla> On hybris devices, when such an image needs to be accessed
    by the CPU it's done via the HybrisTextureFactory::image() function,
    in which eglHybrisLockNativeBuffer locks the buffer and provides a
    pointer to data in the buffer's native format.  (flypig, 07:26:26)
  * <Jolla> This can be either hybris's BGRA_8888 or RGBA_8888 and in
    this case it's hybris's RGBA_8888 format. Then the buffer is copied
    into a QImage().  (flypig, 07:26:34)
  * <Jolla> But when we copy the data out we only specify Qt formats
    which are equivalent to hybris's BGRA_8888 order, consequently
    RGBA_8888 images come out with their colours swapped. The following
    change should fix it:  (flypig, 07:26:40)
  * LINK: https://github.com/sailfishos/qtscenegraph-adaptation/pull/2
    (flypig, 07:26:53)
  * <Jolla> However, we've not had a chance to test this across devices
    or use cases.  (flypig, 07:26:58)
  * <Jolla> Before merging the change, it would be especially helpful if
    members of the community could test the change with various apps on
    different devices.  (flypig, 07:27:03)
  * <Jolla> Testing it requires building and deploying the fixed branch
    of the qtscenegraph-adaptation package. Building can be performed
    using the application SDK.  (flypig, 07:27:08)
  * poetaster expressed his appreciation :)  (flypig, 07:37:00)

* Community Bug Coordination Team summary (5 min -- asked by pherjung)
  (flypig, 07:38:03)
  * <pherjung> Untracked bug reports  (flypig, 07:38:07)
  * LINK:
    https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/community-meeting-on-irc-7th-july-2022/12069/2
    (flypig, 07:38:12)
  * <Jolla> The Community Bug Coordination Team have done a superb job
    once again this fortnight.  (flypig, 07:38:33)
  * <Jolla> As a result of their work, we now have:  (flypig, 07:38:40)
  * <Jolla> - 10 new high quality bug reports recorded internally and
    tagged as "tracked".  (flypig, 07:38:44)
  * <Jolla> - 5 topics moved into different categories as they weren't
    really bugs.  (flypig, 07:38:49)
  * <Jolla> - 4 bug reports marked as "pending" more info.  (flypig,
    07:38:52)
  * <Jolla> - 2 bug reports tagged as "fixed".  (flypig, 07:38:55)
  * <Jolla> - 2 bug reports related to RBG-BBR swapping which hopefully
    we'll be able to mark as "fixed" soon.  (flypig, 07:38:58)

* Open Pull Requests (5 min -- asked by rainemak)  (flypig, 07:43:32)
  * <flypig> During the last meeting we agreed to have a section on open
    Pull Requests, to help prioritise our work in reviewing them. What
    did we get?  (flypig, 07:43:39)
  * <Jolla> We didn't get any submitted before the meeting, but everyone
    is welcome to raise interesting PRs for us to consider now.

  * LINK: https://github.com/sailfishos/droidmedia/pull/92   (flypig,
    07:49:29)
  * <dcaliste> Just for records, one way to see all opened PR on
    SailfishOS is  (flypig, 07:57:01)
  * LINK: https://github.com/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+org%3Asailfishos
    (flypig, 07:57:02)

* General discussion (20 min)  (flypig, 07:57:38)
  * <rainemak> I could try to give a look & comment to dcaliste's
    browser PRs during this week.  (flypig, 08:03:31)
  * all Sailfish OS PRs: click the "Pull requests" link at the header,
    enter "is:open is:pr org:sailfishos" to the search field, press
    enter  (rainemak, 08:04:04)
  * ExTechOp raised the issue of long-standing network issues with
    Android.  (flypig, 08:05:29)
  * LINK:
    https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/android-connectivity-issues-analysis/12091
    (flypig, 08:05:33)
  * <mal>  a small comment about pulseaudio updating, it needs first
    moving to meson since autotools support was dropped in pulseaudio
    15, this means changing the custom patches to work with meson, I
    have done that but no pull requests yet, might need some more
    testing first  (flypig, 08:24:05)

* Next meeting time and date (5 min)  (flypig, 08:27:24)
  * Next meeting will be held on Thursday 21st July 2022 at 07:00am UTC:
    2022-07-21T0700Z  (flypig, 08:28:34)
  * <poetaster> color fix works!  (flypig, 08:28:58)

Meeting ended at 08:29:17 UTC.
