Minutes

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

* Userspace Summit, September 6-8, 2022, https://events.linuxfoundation.org/dpdk-userspace-summit/, call for papers closes on July 22. September 6 will be the DPDK Hackathon, Tech Board Meeting, and Reception.

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

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

* ABI testing on DPDK main has been disabled, while things move towards the 22.11 LTS release.  ABI testing will be “rebased” on that release once it’s complete
* Patch submitted for OpenSSL test case, to prevent IPsec cases from running when unintended.
   * https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20220712141701.27797-1-jspewock@iol.unh.edu/  
   * https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1045
   * The patch is recommended for back-porting, so the LTS branches can run these unit tests.
* Both Broadcom and Mellanox systems should be back online.  Need to confirm Broadcom results are reporting up to patchworks, Jenkins jobs are running.
* Monday will have some short downtime of the dashboard to roll out some small changes / improvements to internal infrastructure.  This will not impact ongoing / running testing.
* Nearly complete with adding the test coverage map to the dashboard.  Populates based on tests run during a specified interval (i.e. prior 2 weeks).
* Lab would like to plan for testing downtime in August, to allow for installing Jenkins updates.  This will also deploy the changes to to only keep past 8 months of results artifacts (approximately 2 releases).  This reduces the time required for Jenkins updates, when it has to inject and update old data (i.e. schema changes).
* During the same down-time, the lab will also be replacing some physical infrastructure (UPSes and switches).

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

* No updates / attendance

-----------------------------------------------------------
Github Actions

* Minor issue with the Github runner, was offline for a day.  There is some planned downtime this weekend for maintenance, shutdown Friday, brought back up on Monday.
* Team is still planning for an update / upgrade for the runner, this should have minimal downtime and the team will confirm when it happens.

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

* Need feedback on the patch from the DPDK community on the first DTS changes / submission, https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=23961
* Discussions around the library used for ssh control of the tester / dut and the underlying library.
* Another discussion around concurrency, and what can be run in parallel and how will that be accomplished.
* Looking into reworking how the traffic generators are implemented / abstracted in the DTS code.  Owen submitted an example direction that is being reviewed / discussed.

===========================================================
Any other business

* Next Meeting: August 4, 2022
