=====================================================================
General Announcements

* Nothing specific for this meeting

=====================================================================
CI Status

---------------------------------------------------------------------
UNH-IOL Community Lab

* Working on deploying test coverage measurements (lcov / gcov) for the
unit testing. First need to get this running stable within the test, then
work on a solution to parse / store metrics to track over time.
* FIPS work is continuing, working with members from Intel to get all other
algorithms working with the ACVP API.
* RTE Flow & VirtIO should be deployed.
   * VirtIO can only be run on the Intel NIC x86_64 systems until DTS
upgrades generalize the required test topology.
   * RTE Flow is running periodically, until some failures can be
addressed. Emails are being sent to RTE flow maintainers.
* SOW for 2022 is going to the governing board for final review on March 8.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel Lab

* Removed the icc_build for cntx modules in the CI.
* Found some issues with patches that were missing the Series ID.
   * Seems like there might be a bug in patchworks.
   * An Example:
http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20220217150239.69876-1-bruce.richardson@intel.com/
   * It seems like, without the Series ID, all testing and checks are
missing the patch, including the check patch scripts.
   * Lincoln to reach out to Ali Alnubani about the issue, will copy Lijuan
and Aaron.
* Around the RC1, there will be a lot of patches to be tested / queued.
Intel is receiving a 502 error from the server sometimes (fairly
frequently).
   * May be caused by polling vs event subscription.  Can try to lower the
frequency or change the back off time.
   * Aaron confirmed the github action scripts see that occur sometimes and
have a recovery built into wait and then try again.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Github Actions & OBS

* No updates, maintainers tied up in other products for the time-being.

=====================================================================
Test Development

* DTS improvements work is still ongoing, aiming to migrate DTS test suite
into the DPDK repo for the 22.07 release
* Work is in progress to fix test suites that directly modify DPDK source
code before compile / test run.
* Working on tool chains for developers, including lint and static analysis
for python (DTS’ language).
* Dropping / removing redundant test suites (there was an ABI test and some
calls to unit testing).
* Next Meeting: March 9, 2022
