Hi everyone!
We now have a confirmed location for the task force meeting: We will
start tomorrow at 10AM in room K40 in the basement of the computer
science building of FU Berlin (Takustr. 9 | 14195 Berlin).
A PlaceCam link for remote participation will be send around before the
meeting tomorrow morning.
See you tomorrow,
Hauke

Dear RIOTers,
we recently came up with the idea to create task forces around special
topics in RIOT to concentrate and speed up the development of key
parts. The idea is to bring all people that are interested in this
topic and are prepared to spend some on it together in a (virtual)
room and start out by a 2-3 day workshop style event. This first
period should be used to discuss the topic in detail to bring everyone
involved on the same page, to come up with a clear architecture, and
define interfaces and sub-modules. The hope is, that we can go into a
very productive implementing phase afterward and speed up the overall
development.
The first key topic we want to try out this concept is the ongoing
re-structuring of the network stack. I propose the following plan for
this:
- we use next week to coordinate (who wants to join, what is the
current state, what are the most pressing open questions)
- we block 2 days in the last week of January for a (virtual)
white-board centered workshop
For the workshop I propose January 27-28, but its just a proposal...
Regarding technical aspects that are currently under (heavy)
construction or need to be clarified (@Martine: please hit me if I
have it completely wrong here...):
- optimizations to the netdev interface
- optimizations to the netapi interface
- analysis of possible data loss using netapi in its current state
- how to pass data/headers/packets around the stack
- possible generalization and/or quotas in the packet buffer
- concepts of global protocol/module list and global protocol handler
registry
- API definition for the neighbor table
- API definition for the forwarding table
- possible join for neighbor and forwarding table
- hooks for various routing protocols
- ???
This is just a initial list of topics to be further discussed - I hope
we can detail it out over the next week to have a good idea about the
questions that need time for discussion!
So concluding:
- who is interested (and/or) wiling to joing this effort?
- are there any ideas on the concrete organization of such a task-force?
- are there technical aspects I forgot?
Looking forward to your feedback!
Cheers,
Hauke
