Hi Jim, I see that there is a session loosely aligned with the agenda below on the agenda for DPDK Userspace in Dublin: https://dpdksummit.com/us/en/userspace2015 (current speaker is TBC). Will this call serve as a preparation call for that face to face meeting? In which case, is this the best opportunity that people who cannot travel to Dublin will have to make any concerns/proposals known so that they can be discussed there?
