Meetings are public, and DPDK community members are welcome to attend. NOTE: Next meeting will be on Wednesday 2023-April-19 @3pm UTC, and will be chaired by Maxime. 1) Marketing update (Nathan) - Welcome to Ben Thomas - new Marketing coordinator for DPDK. - Self-introduction from Ben and brief outline for hist initial plans. 2) Tech writer hiring update (Nathan) - Got GB approval for candidate that seems to fullfill all the major requirements. - Initial contract for 6 months (30 hours per week) with ability to renewal. - First task to concentrate on - GSG re-work (initial estimation ~3/4 weeks). - TB members (Bruce,Aaron, Thomas) will track his work. 3) Event planning (Nathan) - the survey was distributed around to estimate event turnaround. There is a lack of participants so far, ask to the whole community to provide your input as soon as you can. 4) bonding and PTP naming - Stephen expressed his plans to replace all non-inclusive namings in DPDK code-base. For that he is workinng with DPDK maintainers to provider a proper naming replacements. Plus the intention is to sumbit a patches for coding guideness and devtools to help detect/avoid non-inclusive wordings in future updates. No major objections from TB members to this activity. In particular, about new names for bonding PMD - there is no new common naming (nearly every vendor uses its own verion). Current most favourable variant within DPDK community: "bond/members". 5) bnx2x removal - As there is EOL for related devices, Marvell confirmed the plans to remove bnx2x PMDs from DPDK code-base. The intention is to remove it either in 23.07 or 23.11 releases. No final deadline was decided. 6) process for new library approval in principle - Draft documnet was submitted by Jerin more then a month ago. So far only Thomas submitted his comments about the document. Ask for other TB members to participate in review, provide their comments and/or formal ACK. 7) direct-rearm/buffer-recycle patch - in previous mails Ferruh expressed some concerns regarding that feature and requested explicit approval and code review from techboard to proceed. During the discussion, it was pointed that: - this feature can provide a noticable perfomance improvent and is totally optional to use. - it was reworked siginificantly to be generic enough and avoid implicit restrictions to the user. Furhter discussion was postponed due to luck of opinions from TB members and absence of Ferruh. The ask for next meeting: - invite Ferruh to participate the discussion. - Honnappa to prepare brief summary about proposed feature. 8) bugzilla usage - No futher discussion due to absense of main stakeholders.
