Apologies for the= delay in sending these out. Attendees: Bob Monkman, Bruce Richardson, Dave Neary, Ferruh Yigit, Jim St = Leger, John Bromhead, John McNamara, Keith Wiles, Konstantin Ananyev, Laura= Kempke, M Jay, Martin Horne, Mike Dolan, Mike Glynn, Tetsuya Mukawa, Thoma= s Monjalon, Tim O'Driscoll, Yoshihiro Nakajima=20 Note: This list is taken from the GoToMeeting tool, but since people joined= /left at different times it may not be complete. The background to the call is that we had a discussion at the Userspace eve= nt in Dublin on using Linux Foundation to provide a lightweight governance = model for DPDK. This would cover marketing, event planning, trademarks, oth= er legal issues etc. It would not cover any technical governance of the pro= ject. Following this and a follow-up call we had in December, a small group of us= (Dave Neary, Thomas Monjalon, Stephen Hemminger, Vincent Jardin, me) met w= ith the Linux Foundation to create a draft budget which is available at: ht= tps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-3686Xb_jf4FtxdX8Mus9UwIxUb2vI_ppmJV5= GnXcLg/edit#gid=3D302618256. Laura walked through the spreadsheet at the meeting. Column B represents th= e minimum budget requirement for DPDK and totals $227k. Column C shows a nu= mber of optional additions and totals $766k. Points of discussion included: - The minimum option assumes that some of the event costs are covered by re= gistration fees and sponsorship. - Jim asked about LF hosting DPDK IT infrastructure. This isn't currently i= ncluded (row 23) but could be added if desired. - The item for hackathons (row 29) is just a placeholder. The general conse= nsus seemed to be that we wouldn't need these. Taking the minimum budget requirement of ~$227k, that would mean we'd be lo= oking for ~10-15 companies to contribute, each paying a flat-rate membershi= p fee of ~$15-25k. There was a question on what member companies would get in return for their= contribution. We need to do some further work on this, but the likelihood = is that they would get a seat on a board which would determine how the DPDK= budget is spent. The scope of this board would be limited to marketing/eve= nt/legal issues. Technical governance would continue to be handled separate= ly via our Maintainers and our Architecture Board. Most people on the call felt that the proposal to use LF was a good idea an= d was worth pursuing further. However, we only had a small number of people= on the call so that may not be representative of the views of the entire c= ommunity. Therefore, if anybody has further thoughts or input on this, plea= se feel free to reply to this email. Keith suggested holding a poll so that we can quantify the level of interes= t and give people a way to provide feedback anonymously in case they're unw= illing to do so in public. I'll look into this. Feel free to post any corrections or additions if I missed anything.
