The tech board wishes to thank him for his contributions to DPDK and tech-b= oard over the last few years and wish him well in his other endeavours. The topic of a possible replacement for Jan on the tech-board will be discu= ssed at the next meeting. Topic: Management of old patches in patchwork * Unanimous agreement that old patches should be rejected in patchwork after a reasonable period, set initially at 3 releases (9 months). * After a release, all patches dated older than 3 releases previously, e.g. after 17.11, any patches submitted before the release of 17.02, will be marked as rejected and a mail reply sent to the appropriate mailing list thread informing people of the same. * To have patches reconsidered for future inclusion, a new version of the patches should be submitted to the mailing list. * Bruce to update the documentation with this new policy. * Thomas to request support from patchwork and DPDK community to automate/script the implementation of this policy. Topic: Licensing * No major updates. Discussion in progress on a number of items that need relicensing or exceptions. Topic: Technical Board Voting * For charter changes the governing board requires a 2/3 majority. The technical board has no such special case for charter or policy changes. * Following brief discussion, most seemed happy with the current situation where a simple majority suffices for such decisions. =20 Next Meeting: * 2017-12-20 @ 3pm UTC * Hemant to chair discussion
