No specific plan is finalized. # Thomas to start TB email thread for planning the 3 days event to decide activity breakup. 3) PMD API --------------------- # In general, PMD specific APIs are not recommended and they can be considered for the inclusion in the DPDK repository when the contributor is convinced that a specific feature that is part of PMD can not make as generic. If so, as a first step, the contributor sends an email to the DPDK mailing list CCing relevant maintainers to explain the use case with PMD API prototype and data model as RFC. # If community/maintainers decide it can not become generic API or the RFC lacks review/interest on RFC, then contributor can go with PMD-specific API. # New PMD-specific APIs are not allowed to add in testpmd or another generic DPDK application inside the DPDK repository. # To verify the functionalities of PMD API, The testpmd needs to be updated to use a new plugin model, where, the new additions must be done in driver/subsystem/driver_name/ path by changing the minimum common testpmd code as possible. 4) TB Membership update ------------------------ # Ferruh resigned from TB. At this point, TB is not open for new TB membership.
