As mentioned above this is planned for Tuesday 26th June.

The target is consume the patch backlog [1] as a community effort.


One thing we can think of is everybody attending review event join to dpdk irc
channel [1] which makes easier to communicate and reduces the communicating
related delay.

More comments are welcome for more efficient review event.
