Meetings are public and DPDK community members are welcome to attend. NOTE: Next meeting will be on Wednesday 2021-01-13 @3pm UTC, and will be chaired by Stephen. 1/ Lab investments ================== Did current 101k /year investment reach the goal we set up earlier? ------------------------------------------------------------------- - The lab is currently used for performance tests, CI - It helped to find some functional bugs - It is needed for baremetal tests or performance tests (which cannot be done by a cloud test infrastructure) - The infrastructure is there, we can use it better Governing board asks about the proposal to add 30k /year to increase coverage ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The proposal is to increase from 20 to 40 hours per week coverage, adding 2 more student employees. One issue now is there is one person every 2 days. Is it possible to have the same coverage hours, but having an every-day presence? Governing board asks Techboard to come with a single name as lab owner ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A lab owner is a project manager that tracks what was agreed to do, and find some help if needed. Ideally, it is a technical person used to develop in DPDK. No good solution was found. The following ideas have been mentioned: a/ Round-robin from techboard? A quarterly basis is too short compared to ramp-up time, and longer periods are too long for one person. b/ Can it be managed by Linux Foundation? (maybe ask Trishan?) c/ Nobody Question to ask to Govboard: - What is the detail of the costs (infrastructure, electricity, people)? Distributed CI should be high priority, therefore sharing test scripts is important. It might be easier for a company to pay someone working in its own lab. 2/ Offline documentation (.pdf) support ======================================= We can provide an offline-html (archive) format. Indeed, pdf is hard to maintain, and html is a better format (can be interactive with CSS, links between different guides, ...). 3/ DPDK build configuration - future enhancements ================================================= AR to Bruce to create initial version of the DD. No progress yet. 4/ Asia DPDK Event status ========================= - CFP should be ready (waiting for translation in mandarin) - Moderators - AR: Techboard members to contact chineese colleagues and see who could be interrested in moderating - ~4 people are needed. Ruifeng (arm) and Song (arm) kindly volunteered 5/ List of supported OS ======================= Which distributions should be tested? In user guide, there is no such list. It looks easier to just advertise what we test. 6/ List of OS to test in the community lab (compilation and functional) ======================================================================= - For compilation test: a long distribution list is possible - For functional / performance test: test some distributions, for instance: ubuntu-20.04, ubuntu-18.04, RHEL8, FreeBSD latest stable, Windows 7/ Plan for KNI (deprecate? move?) ================================== Postponed to next meeting 8/ Position regarding TRex using a DPDK fork ============================================ Postponed to next meeting 9/ Update on DTS usability ========================== Postponed to next meeting
