Please feel free to correct any erro= rs or to add additional details. Attendees: Dave Neary (Red Hat), Ed Warnicke (Cisco), Francois-Frederic Ozo= g (Linaro), Hemant Agrawal (NXP), Jan Blunck (Brocade), Jaswinder Singh (NX= P), Jerin Jacob (Cavium), Jim St. Leger (Intel), John McNamara (Intel), Kei= th Wiles (Intel), Olga Shern (Mellanox), Thomas Monjalon (6WIND), Tim O'Dri= scoll (Intel), Vincent Jardin (6WIND). Note that there may have been others= , but as people joined at different times it was difficult to keep track. Firstly, here are some links to help keep track of things: Project Charter: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x43ycfW3arJNX-e6NQt3OV= zAuNXtD7dppIhrY48FoGs Summary of discussion at Userspace event in Dublin: http://dpdk.org/ml/arch= ives/dev/2016-October/049259.html Minutes of October 31st call: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/moving/2016-Novem= ber/000031.html Minutes of November 8th call: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/moving/2016-Novem= ber/000058.html Minutes of November 15th call: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/moving/2016-Nove= mber/000061.html Minutes of November 22nd call: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/moving/2016-Nove= mber/000085.html Current technical governance, including composition of the Tech Board: http= ://dpdk.org/doc/guides/contributing/index.html & http://dpdk.org/dev. 1. Discussed Contributor License Agreement (CLA) vs Developer Certificate o= f Origin (DCO) - Current process is to use a DCO. - Francois-Frederic proposed using a CLA. This is based on input from the L= inaro legal team and some Linaro members who have indicated that not having= a CLA prevents them contributing to or using DPDK. - Discussed what benefit they think they'll get from CLA. The main thing it= adds is patent protection. This could be achieved in other ways, for examp= le using the Apache 2.0 license. Neither solution would apply to existing D= PDK code though so any benefit would only apply to new code. - Vincent asked if there are problems with other BSD licensed projects. We = agreed to check with the Linux Foundation (Mike Dolan) to see if they have = any guidance based on other BSD licensed projects. I'll ask Mike. 2. Discussed comments on project charter - Agreed that the Governing Board does not specify requirements for the Tec= hnical Board to implement. The two boards are peers. One can make suggestio= ns to the other at any time, but these aren't requirements and don't have t= o be accepted. - Discussed how members are added to/removed from the Technical Board. Agre= ed that the TB approves adding/removing members. Agreed that the TB needs t= o consider technical contributions from the individuals and support for all= architectures when making these decisions. - Discussed Dave's proposal for a representative of the technical community= on the GB (in addition to the rep from the TB). Agreed not to do this and = just to keep the single rep from the TB on the GB. Also discussed whether t= here should be a GB rep on the TB and agreed that this did not make sense. - For voting, agreed that the quorum for a meeting for either board is 50% = of the members. Majority required to pass a vote is 50% of the total board = except for: a) changes to the charter require 2/3 of the GB; b) licensing e= xceptions require 2/3 of the GB. - I've updated the charter (section 3 - Project Governance) to reflect thes= e changes. Next Meeting: Tuesday December 6th at 3pm GMT, 4pm CET, 10am EST, 7am PST. We'll focus on= the comments on the Membership and Technical Governance sections of the ch= arter, and also discuss CLA/DCO if we have more input/guidance on this from= the LF.
