# Mini meeting agenda

## Action Items From Last Meeting

- Create container repo tags for each FCOS release
- https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/1367

## Topics

- New Package Request: crun-wasm:
- https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/1375
- NOTES:
- Enables running webassembly applications via podman
- Why `wasmedge`?
- will have a package for wasmtime in the future
- Giuseppe: docker/moby is using wasmedge today
- Giuseppe: in theory you should be able to switch your wasm runtime and things should just keep working
- Giuseppe: In the future we probably want to use wasmtime
- Walters: One concern I have is that /usr/bin/wasmedge would also become something that (in theory) users/scripts and other code could depend on
- What are the benefits of having `wasmedge` on the host?
- allows the container images to be smaller
- jlebon: How early are we in the wasm cycle?
- if users are purely in experimentation mode then it might be OK to have the users have extra steps to get it
- if people are running production workloads then having it in the host may be more appropriate
- dwalsh: there is a lot of buzz about WASM, but not sure how much production is happening there
- walters: one thing we could do is grap the WASM runtime from a container registry and dynamically pick it up
