Some points of consensus, some open issues. - Agreement that all DPDK PMDs themselves must be possible to compile with a DPDK supported compiler - GCC and/or clang - All PMDs must be possible for maintainers to compile, in order to maintain those PMDs - this implies that all dependencies of the PMDs are easily available for maintainers to download. - General consensus seems to be that so long as a dependency is freely available, binary rather than source is ok - there is already a precedent for this with existing PMDs - Consensus that the issue with turbo_sw PMD needs to be resolved in this release, proposed target is rc1 - Idea of having a staging area for drivers was proposed, idea was not generally liked. - Issue will be worked by tech board along with PMD maintainers to see what resolution can be reached quickly. Item #3: ABI Policy - Issue deferred due to lack of time - Issue to be Item #1 on next week's agenda Item #4: Security Policy - The mailing list "security-prerelease@dpdk.org" has been created - Member companies must apply to join this list to be informed in advance of security issues - requests to join are to be sent to techboard@dpdk.org - the technical board must then approve those requests - companies can have more than one address registered, but should keep number very small Item #5: Removal of examples - Follow on from last week - to be discussed publically on mailing list rather than just in technical board Next Meeting: 22nd May 2019. To be chaired by Ferruh Yigit.
