Hi, There are many ways of contributing to DPDK. Apart features and fixes, I'd suggest these 4 activities: - Bug reporting is critical to satisfy all use cases - Patch reviews are very important and help to accelerate their integration - Clean-up (e.g. remove doxygen warnings, merge linux and bsd eal, etc) - Documentation
