Zoom vs Skype ------------- * Linux foundation is providing zoom accounts and should we switch the meetings to the Zoom, as done in the regular CI meetings? * It seems Skype is not performing well on Linux * There can be some limitations using Zoom for some companies * jitsi can be an alternative * We will give it a try, @John & @Thomas will handle the details and will communicate the change * In next a few meetings we will keep the Skype open to prevent confusions 20.05 retrospective ------------------- * We should do regular, weekly, merges from sub-trees. * Latest gcc support * We should have CI support to test latest compiler versions early. * Travis ovsbuild has these tests, but we need script to report result to patchwork. * Getting patch late in the release is increasing the risk, what can be done? * Should we be more strict on the dates, to prevent perception that future dates will shift? * Doc maintainership, this requires some unique skills and @John is doing good job but we need additional maintainers to help him. LTS --- * v19.11.3-rc1 will be out next week, need to synchronize the validation effort for it * v18.11.9-rc1 will have similar schedule DPDK Release Status Meetings ============================ The DPDK Release Status Meeting is intended for DPDK Committers to discuss the status of the master tree and sub-trees, and for project managers to track progress or milestone dates.
