Table of Contents

• Large projects that need owners
• Reduce tech debt, not related to core code
• Improve developer productivity
• Provide career opportunities
• Teach users about WebRTC
• Empower use cases that only Pion/Go can do

Large projects that need owners

• Add pion/interceptor Bandwidth Estimation
  • Also need to add network simulation logic to pion/transport (packet loss, bufferbloat etc..)
  • See https://github.com/pion/interceptor/issues/25 for more details
• Support Large SCTP messages
  • Currently we have a hard cap at 65535. We need to research what the technical blockers are here
  • https://github.com/pion/webrtc/issues/1396 and https://github.com/pion/webrtc/issues/758
  • See https://blog.mozilla.org/webrtc/large-data-channel-messages/ and https://lgrahl.de/articles/demystifying-webrtc-dc-size-limit.html
• AV1 and H265 Support
  • Need to write packetizer/depacketizer for both
• Finish pion/interceptor NACK implementation
  • Support NACKs have a distinct SSRC
  • Evict the NACK cache properly. Should be Round Trip Time * 4
  • See https://github.com/pion/interceptor/issues/9 for more details
• Add pion/interceptor jitterbuffer implementation
  • Cache incoming packets and re-arrange them
  • Allow users to define cache behavior (% loss, delay etc..)
• Add pion/interceptor Transport Wide Congestion Control implementation
  • Generate reports for incomming streams
• Add pion/interceptor RED/FlexFEC implementation
  • Research is needed. What is support look like for other agents? What other roadbumps could we hit.
• Finish GetStats implementation
  • Count incoming/outgoing packets and give users insights
  • callstats.io integration?
• Support TURN Server bandwidth tracking
  • https://github.com/pion/turn/issues/150
• Support un-bundled audio/video
  • Currently pion/webrtc only supports one ICETransport, so each sides uses one port for the entire call
  • Instead we should allow all audio to be run over one port, all video over another
  • This will require a SettingEngine entry. Would be a good question at w3c.
  • see https://github.com/pion/interceptor/issues/25#issuecomment-782775189 for more details
• Add media support to WASM bindings
  • You could write your code in Go, then deploy to native and web
  • https://github.com/pion/webrtc/issues/500

Reduce tech debt, not related to core code

• Port client applications to /v3 issue
• Drive down issue and PR backlog (dtls, turn and ice especially)
• Create tooling that graphs the amount of issues per repo
  • Find repos that aren't getting updated
  • Find repos that have lots of issues/PRs
• Write wiki page that explains the architecture of pion/webrtc and onboards new devs
• Improve performance and prevent regressions issue
  • Important for WebRTC, ICE, SCTP, TURN, SRTP
• Setup fuzz testing (submit to oss-fuzz)
  • Important for ICE, STUN, TURN, DTLS, SCTP, RTP and RTCP
• Automate Change log generation issue

Improve developer productivity

• FAQ on Debugging
  • WebRTC for the Curious first for general debugging
  • Wiki page for Pion specific tools
• pion/interceptor that generates packet dumps
  • useful for debugging
• H264 Interceptor Analyzer
  • IDR Interval
  • Every SPS/PPS has an IDR
  • Invalid H264
  • B-Frames

Provide career opportunities

• Promote companies that use Pion. Helps hiring and gives small companies a little more advertising
• Developers should make projects under their own name. Better recognition/ownership
• Host meetup every ~3 months. Get speakers from the community
• First time contributor list. Contact Sean-Der on Slack or email sean@pion.ly for help.
