Don't forget if you have registered for DPDK Userspace 2015 and can't make it

Thanks

One good thing would be if someone could write a summary of the
community call discussion for further discussion on the mailing list.

I wonder how a call can "get more open dialogue"?
Because of being "live", a lot of people cannot attend at this time.
A call is also a place where only people having the strongest voice will be 
heard.
Finally it will be really well understood only by english-native people
(depending on the accent of speakers).

I know only one way to be really open and we are using it for this discussion.

This call is aimed to get more open dialogue in the community.  Yes, the slot 
at DPDK Userspace should delve deeper into the subject. But rather than wait it 
has been desired by several people to get some discussion going now ahead of 
the Dublin gathering.  I hope the community can start the conversation now and 
then tee up some areas to dig into deeper when people are face-to-face in 
Dublin (those who can make it anyway.) And of course if people aren't going to 
Dublin this is an easy path to be heard and contribute to the discussion.
I hope that helps.

Hi Jim,

I see that there is a session loosely aligned with the agenda below on the 
agenda for DPDK Userspace in Dublin: 
https://dpdksummit.com/us/en/userspace2015 (current speaker is TBC). 
Will this call serve as a preparation call for that face to face meeting? In 
which case, is this the best opportunity that people who cannot travel to 
Dublin will have to make any concerns/proposals known so that they can be 
discussed there?

Thanks,
Dave.

[dpdk-dev] DPDK.org Community Call - Sept 24 - Discuss Growth, Improvements

2015-09-22 Thread St Leger, Jim
I am going to host a community call on Thursday Sept 24 at 7:00am Pacific 
daylight time.  The conference call dial-in info via GoToMeeting is pasted 
below.  Here is the background and objective of the discussion.

The DPDK community continues to grow.  Here are some stats on the 2.1 release 
from August 17th:
=> 827 commits. A growth of ~50% over the 2.0 release.
=> 82 individual committers. A growth of ~33% over the 2.0 release.
The number of companies contributing has also continued to grow.

There is a strong desire to continue to grow and solidify the community. But 
the growth brings up the question of how the community is structured to scale.  
 Additionally, there are many private DPDK repositories across the industry 
(e.g. ARM ports, for example.)  There are a myriad of reasons why companies 
have elected to keep their DPDK code and ports private versus put them into the 
DPDK.org community. We as a community need to understand and explore these 
reasons and work towards enabling inclusion.

During this gathering I'd like to bring together the DPDK community including:
a) the DPDK code contributors,
b) the consumers of DPDK downstream (VNF vendors, etc.),
c) private branch DPDK creators/consumers, and
d) anyone else interested in the growth and future of the DPDK open source 
software project.

The call will focus on two topics:

1)Structure for growth:

Do we have the community practices, policies, and procedures in place to allow 
us to continue to grow on our current trajectory?



2)Gaps Limiting Participation:

What gaps do companies who would like to participate/contribute to DPDK.org see?

What changes would they like to see made to improve the project?

I hope people can attend AND that they will join and speak up and be heard. The 
success and growth of the community depends on YOU!

Thanks,
Jim
