First off, I'd like to thank Lennart, Colin, and everyone else for working on such an important project, solving so many audio problems that have plagued the Linux desktop for years, and especially working in an area which is so prone to criticism. That said, I'd like to echo a couple things people have said here: There's been very little *visible* progress on getting another pulseaudio release out. Many advances in pulseaudio seem to hinge on waiting for Lennart to finish work with systemd and have more time for pulseaudio. Given how critical a component like pulseaudio is, I'm concerned about Lennart being a single point-of-failure. He's done a great job, but he can only be spread so thin. Systemd is (I believe) also going to be a very important project moving forward, and as such I believe it's going to continue taking a significant amount of time. Does this project need a path to release that doesn't require as much time and effort from Lennart? Are there other people (Colin comes to mind) that have the knowledge, time, and willingness to manage a release schedule? Let me make it clear that I don't want to see Lennart taken further away from the project. But the pulseaudio-hasn't-been-released-in-a-while problem seems to keep coming up more and more frequently, and I don't blame Lennart for being really interested in devoting time to systemd, and if pulseaudio has to lose that much of his time, it's worth talking about how the project proceeds without it. -- <div style="text-align: right;">Jeremy Nickurak -= Email/XMPP: -= <a href="mailto:jeremy@nickurak.ca" target="_blank">jeremy@nickurak.ca</a> =- </div>
