I was thinking on:

1. Qualification instructions and automation
2. Documentation and website
3. Build system (meson)
4. Github vs freedesktop gitlab
5. Channel Sounding (Qualcomm?)
6. LE Audio (perhaps we participation from PW @pv?)

[ford-prefect]

Possibly on the API side, some of the friction supporting devices that do BR/EDR and LE might be interesting (like this #1620 (comment)).
