1) GB representative rotation:
    Stephen Hemminger will be TB rep to GB for next 3 months.

2) Meeting management tool suggestion from Nathan.
    Followed by more broad discussion about current DPDK project tools
    and how convenient the are to the different parts of the community.
    In particular:
    - how end-users (not developers) can provide their input for new
      features, existing functionality?
    - bug-tacking tool improvement
    - new contributors - what are the best options for them?
    No specific decisions were made.


3) Meson version update for 22.11
    - Decision is - let's try to go ahead with it.
      AR to Bruce to ping Intel Labs team to confirm that they
      will be able to deal with that.

4) License exception for GVE code from kernel (under MIT license)
    - Looks ok, to follow the procedure need to apply for exception
      approval from GB.
