Retrospective on 18.05.

* What went well.

  * Largest DPDK release ever.
  * Lots of contributors from all the main companies involved in networking.
  * Collaboration on major features between companies in the community.

* What didn't go so well.

  * The release was very late and required a lot of release candidates.
  * RC1 was late and low quality.
  * Many major defects found in RC testing.
  * Some reviews were slow or late.

* What can we do differently next time.

  * Should we change the number of releases per year from 4 to 3 or 2?
  * Merge earlier from subtrees: every 7-10 days.
  * Push patches earlier.
  * Review patches more critically. Does every feature/patch need to go in.
  * Use unit tests more
    * Make them a requirement for any sizeable code.
    * Make them easier to write/use/run.
    * Add a make/meson target for generating coverage results from units
      tests. Any volunteers?
  * Hold more strictly to the release milestone dates.


Testing of stable releases.

* Luca Boccassi asked about testing of the stable release.
* All major contributing companies should confirm test results on the stable
  releases.
* Luca will send an email to the list about it:
