* Compilation issues:
  * There are patches for compilation issues that aren't applied
    ping Thomas or Ferruh with priority

* Readthedocs (dpdk.readthedocs.io)
  * John won't maintain it anymore
  * Redirected to the dpdk.org docs
  * One of the good things in the readthedocs is the selection doc for a dpdk
    version, dpdk.org also has various dpdk version docs, only missing version
    selector, one needs to update the URL
  * Possibly add doc version selector to dpdk.org

* Stable release
  * Is the stable (not LTS) release being used? Discussed in userspace summi
    without a decision.
  * There seems to be some demand for it, in userspace some from audience
    (like 6Wind) mentioned that they are using it
  * John will open the discussion on the mailing list
