Thanks to all who attended and contributed to yesterday's discussion. For the benefit of those who couldn't attend, here's a brief summary of what was covered. Please feel free to point out any errors or omissions.
Decision Making - There was a discussion on whether we need a Technical Steering Committee or similar decision-making forum. The scope would be to make long-term, strategic decisions and to provide a resolution for issues that do not reach a consensus on the mailing list. - Some felt that this was a good idea and would help to reach a timely conclusion on contentious issues. Others felt that these issues should be resolved on the mailing list and/or by the Maintainer. Github - There was some discussion on the merits of github. As with the mailing list discussion on this, some were in favour and some against. - Nothing is stopping people using github today and then submitting pull requests. DPDK Industry Representation - At the moment, we don't have any project-level DPDK entity or budget that would ensure DPDK representation at relevant events. It's left to individual contributors to do this. Independent Ownership - It was suggested that it would be better to have independent community ownership of the DPDK project. - The argument against this is that the ownership of the infrastructure (website, git repo) is not important and can be easily cloned if required. Next Steps - The conclusion was to have further discussion on the mailing list, and possibly schedule a follow-up call in 2-3 weeks.
