NOTE: The technical board meetings every second Wednesday at https://meet.jit.si/DPDK at 3 pm UTC. Meetings are public, and DPDK community members are welcome to attend. NOTE: Next meeting will be on Wednesday 2021-04-21 @3pm UTC, and will be chaired by Kevin. 1) eventdev DLB2 -> DLB driver rename ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * it could be considered as API/ABI breakage, so should happen at LTS release timeframe (21.11) * Renaming it back to DLB is possible, but might create a confusion, when 20.11 LTS and 21.11 LTS will have two different drivers with the same name (dlb). * Proposal to consider to use new name (idlb) for renaming in 21.11. 2) build: use platform option 'generic' as default one ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Current default option is 'native'. * To go ahead with such noticeable change need to collect feedback from the community first. * Techboard preference is to keep 'native' as a default choice. 3) Tech Board Membership Policy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Agreed that it needs to be clearly defined and better documented. * Start with codifying current status (AR to Hemant). * Review existing policies for other open-source projects and come-up with some suitable proposal for DPDK (AR to Stephen and other members). 4) Linux Foundation interaction ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Discussion on current situation and what can be improved in future. 5) DPDK Userspace 2021 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Discussed initial thoughts about DPDK Userspace 2021 event. Techboard opinion: In current situation it seems premature to consider F2F event for 2021. Probably safer to plan it as virtual for 2021 and consider F2F one for 2022. 6) Other opens ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * More reviews for 21.05 are welcome (as usual) * examples/l3fwd - looking for maintainer.
