After few meetings and emails, it has been agreed to work with the Linux Foundation to assist the growing community of the DPDK.
The outlines and the budget are described in this email by Tim O'Driscoll: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-February/032720.html We need around ten companies to contribute to this small effort and become a supporter of the initiative. As suggested by Dave Neary, the next step is to draft a membership agreement and identify the members of this new lightweight foundation: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-February/032909.html Please, it would be great to use this thread to announce the official commitment of your company to support the DPDK community!
