Would it be possible to move this bi-weekly meeting

Yes, would be nice to hear more developers joining the party.

Any update about requesting Windows in the community lab CI?

Please, which up-to-date branch we can work on?

I sent the deprecation notice. Most of the changes can be done
without any API breakage.

What is the status of the PCI code in drivers/bus/pci?
Is someone working on it with clang and meson?
Mellanox would like to join the effort on PCI.

"windpdk-next-dev" branch in the Windows DPDK draft repository is the most up to date branch that is currently a mirror of the upstream DPDK repository.
http://git.dpdk.org/draft/dpdk-draft-windows/log/?h=windpdk-next-dev

Also, "windpdk-v18.08-clang" branch has been created. This is Windows port of v18.08 with clang support.

Please add the Mellanox engineers who are Cc of this mail.
Mellanox is ramping up. We need to know how to proceed with the PCI code.
