Short Workstation meeting next week
by Michael Catanzaro
Hi,
I'd like to do a shorter Workstation meeting next week to allow some
time for people to attend Red Hat Summit [1] if desired. Instead of
meeting from 9:30-10:20 AM EDT as usual, let's instead go from
9:30-9:55 AM EDT to avoid clashing with Summit. This will be a good
meeting to handle small things, not a good time to attempt to tackle
grand issues. In particular, I think we can nominate a chairperson for
the F35 release cycle at the next meeting. If that's all we need to
discuss next week, we might finish even earlier. Feel free to tag small
issues with meeting-request as usual.
You might notice I'm trying to follow Google Calendar's short meetings
rule: 50 minute meetings in an hourlong timeslot, and 25 minute
meetings in a half hour slot. Hopefully this makes the end of the
meetings less stressful. ;)

Thanks. Is the "not talking in the installer" thing new with Pipewire,
or was it the same with Pulseaudio?
Aside from that issue, is it generally working as expected in current
F34 with pipewire 0.3.24?
Thanks again!

F34, pipewire and orca (screen reader)
by Adam Williamson
Hi folks! Sending to test@ and desktop@, and CCing two folks who
reported problems.
So I finally got some time today to look into the reports of screen
reader functionality not working well in F34, with GNOME 40 and
Pipewire. I wrote the latest F34 nightly live to a USB stick, booted it
on my test laptop, and turned on the screen reader. It initially seems
to work - it reads out some of the contents of the welcome window, and
it reads out things in the GNOME environment when I click on them.
However, after I launch the installer it does not seem to read anything
in the installer. Is that normal/expected?
I do see that a bug was opened:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1940311
and closed as 'fixed' by pipewire 0.3.24:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-2c994d0609
but I'm not sure if that's the whole story.
I haven't tested how it behaves after install yet, I'll try and do that
tomorrow.
