Agenda items
============
1) Update on the tech writer hire
---------------------------------
We are in the process of recruiting a tech writer to enhance DPDK
documentation.
The work group is composed of Nathan, Bruce, Stephen, Thomas.
- 5 reasonnable candidates among 17 applicants
- the list of tasks is defined, it has been estimated to ~250h
- the work should be spread over ~6 months to give enough time
to the community for feedback
- after some time, if the community is satisfied, the writer can
suggest new enhancements, reworks, or estimation updates
- in case the community is not satisfied, the contract could end
before the end of the tasks
2) Discussions about alternatives to bug bounty to find bugs
------------------------------------------------------------
These three ideas were mentionned:
- static analysis tools
- fuzz testing
- adding more tests to CI
Projects from Google Project Zero were also mentionned:
https://github.com/orgs/googleprojectzero/repositories
3) Reminder about API/ABI stability
-----------------------------------
Recently, the vector keyword was removed from rte_altivec.h:
http://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/commit/?id=64fcadeac0f
Since it is a minor (accepted) API breakage, it is the opportunity
to do a reminder about the ABI/API process:
- API breakages are announced and can happen in minor versions
- ABI breakages are announced and can only happen in LTS releases
4) Removal of KNI
-----------------
There is no more maintainer for KNI.
A progressive removal proposal was made:
- add a message at runtime and/or compilation to announce deprecation
- remove KNI example after 22.11
- remove lib + kmod from main repo for 23.11
Bruce recently submitted a doc patchset to explain how to replace
it by virtio-user:
https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=23218
The status of pending patches is not obvious. Until now, it was not
announced that new patches won't be integrated. Thomas will open the
discussion.
