Discussed next steps for identifying project members: - Mike Dolan has posted a request on the moving@dpdk.org mailing list for p= eople interested in becoming project members to reply to him. He'll follow = up individually with these people to discuss membership levels etc. Membership costs: - Discussed potential membership costs. My proposal was ~$50-100k for Gold,= ~$5-$20k for Silver. Most agreed that this was a good starting point for d= iscussions. - Vincent proposed a sliding scale for Silver based on the number of employ= ees for companies and a reduced rate for universities.=20 - Discussed how long the commitment should be on joining the project. Mike'= s guidance was that Gold usually involves a 2 year commitment but there's o= nly a 1 year commitment for Silver. Agreed that this is a good approach. Lab Costs: - Discussed whether lab costs should be included in the Gold membership lev= el or if they should be charged for separately. At the moment, the charter = allows either option. Including lab costs in the Gold membership fee gives = a simpler funding model but the downside is that it raises the cost for Gol= d membership so it restricts the number of Gold members that we'll be able = to attract. - Agreed that Mike will ask whether companies are interested in participati= ng in a DPDK lab when talking to potential project members. This will help = to decide on the right pricing approach for the lab. - Whichever approach we take, we'll need to make sure that the lab budget i= s carefully managed because if we do establish a lab but then some contribu= tors pull out it will be difficult to cover costs. - From previous discussions with the LF (see http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/mo= ving/2016-November/000058.html) lab costs for a full rack would start at ~$= 200k/year. Desired budget: - There was a question on what budget level we're trying to reach. There ar= e two ways to approach this issue: a) we agree a required budget and then a= djust membership fees to match that; b) we set membership fees at a reasona= ble level and then prioritise how we spend the resulting budget. We discuss= ed previously and agreed on option b), but we can discuss this again at nex= t week's meeting. Mike may have some preliminary input from his membership = discussions by then which may help to guide this. Next Meeting: Tuesday January 31st at 3pm GMT, 4pm CET, 10am EST, 7am PST. We can discuss= any preliminary input that Mike has from his membership discussions, discu= ss the desired budget level, and hopefully get an update from the Tech Boar= d on any changes they're planning to make.
