NOTE: The Technical Board meetings take place every second Wednesday on https://meet.jit.si/DPDK at 3 pm UTC. Meetings are public, and DPDK community members are welcome to attend. Agenda and minutes can be found at http://core.dpdk.org/techboard/minutes * DPDK Userspace Event updates ** CfP submissions are coming in. More expected within the next week. ** Remote presenters can be accommodated (but not preferred, although remote speakers doing pre-recorded is preferred in that case) ** Remote attendance is an option - access to all sessions isn't clear at the moment. First day stuff (hackathon, TB meetings, etc. aren't recorded) TBD, but likely will not be accessible to remote attendees. ** Some complimentary passes have been approved for qualified individuals ** Sponsorship packages were approved ** Some travel / transportation recommendataions are forthcoming to the website * LF server backup ** Nathan submitted request ** Last message from Johnson @ gowdy.net is that the ticket is in process ** Are any additional ticket requests? - Seems no ** No ETA for completion ** Thomas says when it should be available we can do some testing and see if we missed anything. * Tech writer update ** Discussion with a candidate between Thomas, Bruce, and Nathan ** Candidate represents a group, which was a surprise ** Asked for a proposal, but the proposal did not have a breakdown, just a flat payment for 3 months. ** Group wants hourly information, and an "out" in case the work isn't sufficient. ** Thomas concern is that the plan is to work "full time" but we are probably not able to absorb full time work. Better if they would work something like 1 wk/month because that is probably closer to the workload we estimate. ** Maybe if they are able to split the work in small tasks we can work out a schedule, but the current proposal doesn't have that. ** Need an audit of work to do to generate tasks list. ** Do we pay for that? Discussion *** Probably do, this is work and we are asking them to do it. *** Need to have a bigger discussion about how to come up with such an estimate, etc. *** Maybe other projects have some data that we can use for coming up with an estimate? *** Q: Has LF paid for this work before? If so, what is the rate, etc.? -- Discussing backlog -- * Security process ** Nothing new * UNH CI / Testing ** Presented the gov board status ** UNH Git caching issue *** Shallow clone should be sufficient for git pulls at UNH *** Two solutions - git cache being out of sync is a rare case anyway *** Maybe with self-retest this isn't an issue ** Question is UNH still on their schedule? ** There is a question about using UNH with OPI, doing some kind of global API on top of DPDK. There is a need for a lab, and the suggestion is UNH. ** Thomas is monitoring the discussion ** Not sure about whether the teams would/could overlap * Doc maintenance ** Need to see what will happen with tech writer candidate * Bugzilla status ** Waiting on responses ** BZ doesn't seem overwhelmed, but needs maintenance
