Hello all,

This is the first day of the first DPDK contest!

Invited To Enter Network Tool Implementation Contest

6WIND, a developer of packet processing software, is inviting the public at 
large to enter a software development contest, called "SPEED MATTERS: The 
Challenge", which will reward creativity, execution and planning for savvy 
technology professionals.

"The objective of our contest is for applicants to enter novel applications 
that have been designed using Intel DPDK. Entries can take multiple forms 
including white papers, proof-of-concepts and finished products. We believe 
that by sharing implementation examples, we can increase the knowledge of the 
broader community to lend expertise in building high-performance networking 
applications with Linux."
