More details in the release notes:
	http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/rel_notes/release_16_11.html

The new features for the 17.02 cycle must be submitted before December 4.
There is a long list of expected works:
	http://dpdk.org/dev/roadmap
It means we will have a huge workload to properly review all the new stuff
before the end of the year. Do not forget to help reviewing patches from
others if we want to have a chance to integrate everything in time.

Other works in progress:
- A structure in Linux Foundation is being discussed at moving@dpdk.org
	http://dpdk.org/ml/listinfo/ci
- A CI process is being discussed at ci@dpdk.org

Thanks everyone

Thomas, it's great to hear that DPDK16.11 released just in time.
As prospect for 17.02, our intel validation team have some concern about the release date.
The official day off for Chinese Sprint Festival holiday will be from 27th Jan to 3th Feb.
Most of our members may ask for more days leave either before or after the official day off.
>From our previous experience, it will take 3~4 weeks to do the full function and performance test.
If the first candidate release in the middle of Jan, we can do first round of validation and raise issues to developers.
And after the holiday, we can keep on the validation process and finish in two weeks.
If release date is after Feb, it will be hard for us to cover all cases in release window.

Thanks,
DPDK STV team

The integration deadline is January 5.
So we can target/expect a RC1 on January 11.

Yes, we must remind that mid-January is a hard deadline for RC1.
Then the release will be in mid-February to make sure you have some time
after the holidays.
What about Valentine's day? :)

It is good that RC1 on Jan.11th is a hard deadline. We also need ensure that RC1 is a complete package with all features. If RC1 is out but missing some big features, then the test results on RC1 vs RC2 may have big difference. 
So, could we ensure that RC1 is a complete feature package, if any feature missing RC1, then we may postpone the feature to 17.05? Does it make sense?
